Balloons on strings – diagonal lines to one point for ages 3–4
Five balloons float above a little hand. The child draws each string – a diagonal line from the balloon down into the palm.
Done — the sheet is in your downloads
In the print dialog choose actual size (100 %) and black and white. Add a thick triangular crayon.
Why is this sheet for ages 3–4?
The diagonal line is the hardest of the basic strokes for a three-year-old. The strings offer it in wide tracks with a shared target that eyes and hand aim at.
- Diagonal lines both ways – down-left and down-right.
- A shared target point trains eye–hand coordination.
- Coloring the balloons: naming colors as a bonus.
💬 Tip for parents
If the child misses the palm, no problem — keep a finger on the palm as the target. A nice extra game: a real balloon on a string and its movement in the air drawn with a finger.
