We know that preschoolers need to develop their fine motor skills to be able to control a pencil when they start writing. This is called prewriting practice. These fun prewriting practice packs can be used in addition to hands-on activities to develop fine motor skills.

Before we discuss these fabulous prewriting practice packs, I want to stress how important hands-on activities are to develop those fine motor skills. Activities like playing with playdough, sensory bin play, loose parts play, etc. are crucial to explore before you move onto paper-based activities.

Now onto our packs. At this stage, there are a Pirate Pack, Dinosaur Pack and Zoo Animals Pack. (Please do add a comment to request a specific theme.) You will find each pack has 13 pages of fun prewriting activities. Including upper & lower case letter tracing:

Prewriting letters

Number and shape tracing:

Prewriting shapes and numbers

Plus writing lines and paths to trace:

Prewriting lines and paths

You can decide, depending on your child’s abilities, which pages to introduce first. Typically, children learn to write lines and shapes before moving on to numbers and letters.

Note: These packs are designed to practice pencil control and not letter/number formation, hence no directions are given.

To make these printable pages reusable, laminate it or use a dry-erase pocket. Or, see our Perspex Clipboard hack on Instagram!

Hands-on TIPS:

  • Use small toys to “walk” the lines.
  • Attach a page to a sensory bag so that you can see the lines through the sensory bag and trace lines that way.
  • Use magnets: attach a magnet to a stick and move another magnet at the top to follow the lines.
