Early pencil control practice for Reception and EYFS children working on grip, line direction and steady tracing.
The worksheet shows a kite made up of different shapes children trace over to build hand strength and fine motor control. There is no writing or counting, just careful tracing across straight edges, diagonals and curves, which makes it a calm activity for children who are still learning how to hold a pencil. Useful before any handwriting unit, as a short morning warm up, or as an early intervention task for children whose grip needs more time before they move on to letter formation.
Pairs with the wider handwriting and early writing work in the handwriting worksheets for EYFS ages 4 to 5. Printable PDF, A4, downloads instantly after purchase.
