Fence for the chick – vertical lines top to bottom for ages 3–4
The fence has only two horizontal rails. The child draws the pickets – vertical lines top to bottom – and the chick stays in the garden.
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 vertical top-to-bottom line is the first stroke a child controls confidently. The fence repeats it ten times in a rhythm, with a clear purpose.
- Vertical stroke top to bottom – the direction numerals and capitals are written.
- The regular rhythm of pickets calms and sharpens the movement.
- Left-to-right progress prepares for reading.
💬 Tip for parents
Count the pickets while drawing (“one, two, three…”) — the child links movement with counting. If the lines slant, turn the sheet so the child sits straight in front of the track; slanted lines are usually a matter of body position.
