Puppy Tracing

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a picture tracing activity designed for children to practice their prewriting skills. It features a dotted outline of a cat sitting next to a bone, which children are instructed to trace. The worksheet combines fine motor skill development with a fun and engaging animal theme. At the top, there’s a space for the student to write their name, and the heading prompts children to trace the pictures and then color them, offering a creative extension to the tracing task.

The worksheet teaches students to follow and trace dotted lines, which is a foundational exercise for developing handwriting skills. Tracing the outline of the cat and the bone helps improve pencil control and hand-eye coordination. The activity also introduces children to the concept of staying within the lines, preparing them for more precise writing and drawing tasks. Furthermore, the opportunity to color the picture after tracing fosters creativity and allows for the practice of additional motor skills.
