Pattern Writing Pre-writing Skills Activity Book for 3-4 Year Olds - Page 40

How to use this worksheet

Briefly look back at how far your child has come by mentioning that this is a later page in the book, building a small sense of accomplishment before starting. Trace over the existing pattern first, reminding your child to use everything they've practiced, steady pressure and even spacing. Let them continue the pattern independently into the blank space, stepping back to observe rather than guiding every stroke. Praise the completed row as a sign of real progress through the book.
