Ages 5–6🌀 Warm-up strokes
Eights and loops – warm-up exercise, ages 5–6
Six smaller lying eights in two rows and two rows of tight loops. The path is a narrow 5 mm and the loops are 11 mm across – the strokes are about the size of letters in a writing book.
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 5–6?
Scaling the stroke down to letter size: the same movement as before, in a narrow path.
- Eights 48 mm wide, loops 11 mm – close to handwriting size.
- A 5 mm path: the hand holds the line with the wrist resting on the paper.
- Four long strokes across the full width of the page.
💬 Tip for parents
Watch for smoothness rather than accuracy – a line that stopped shows up as a thicker spot. If the loops run together, have the child slow down and count out loud. A thin pencil works better here than a wax crayon.
