Spirals in and out – warm-up exercise, ages 5–6
Four spirals with three turns. Two are drawn from the middle outwards and two from the edge inwards – the dot at the start and the arrow at the end show the direction. The path is 5.5 mm wide.
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?
A spiral changes the size of the circling smoothly: the hand grows and shrinks the movement.
- Four spirals of three turns – one long stroke each.
- Two directions: from the middle out and back in again.
- A gradual shift of the movement from the shoulder to the wrist.
💬 Tip for parents
The spiral going inwards is harder – leave it for last. When the child reaches the middle, the spiral can become a snail or a snake. Tracing a finished spiral in a second color shows how much steadier the second go was.
