Tracing worksheets for preschool

Two pages to get little hands ready for writing: one with lines that go from one picture to another, and one with dotted shapes from big to small. The straight lines, circle, square and triangle are the same ones your child traces with a finger in Ziippi; the waves, zigzags and arches are a step further.

An idea for doing it together

Finger first, then pencil

Before picking up a pencil, have your child trace each line with a finger and say it out loud: “from the bee to the flower”. Slip the page into a plastic sleeve and use a dry-erase marker so you can reuse it many times.

Practice this in Ziippi

In the app, this is part of the My hands area.

How to print them

  1. Choose US Letter or A4 to match your paper. Letter is the usual size in the United States and Canada; A4 in most other countries.
  2. When printing, keep the scale at “Actual size” or “100%” so the page is not cut off.
  3. A chunky pencil or crayon makes the dots easier to follow. To reuse a page, slip it into a plastic sleeve.
