Kite Flying Tracing Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Point out the kite at the top of the page and the child or hand holding the string at the bottom, explaining that the line shows the string connecting them. Guide your child's pencil along the dotted line in one continuous motion from the kite down to the ground, rather than stopping partway. If the line breaks into several short strokes, encourage them to try once more in a single smooth motion. Color the kite and sky scene once the string is fully traced.
