Bouncing ball – upper arches for ages 3–4
The ball bounces over the hills into the basket. Four rows of upper arches – from big to smaller.
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 arch is the first curved stroke after the straight line. A bouncing ball gives the movement a rhythm – up, down, up, down.
- Upper arches prepare the hand for m, n and numerals.
- Rhythmic movement loosens the wrist.
- Shrinking arches = a natural progression on one sheet.
💬 Tip for parents
Say the rhythm out loud (“hop – and down, hop – and down”) — speech helps the hand keep time. If the child stabs the arches with the pencil tip, show the movement in the air first with the whole arm.
