Look at the lines, then draw them again

There is nothing to work out on this sheet, and that is the point. Your child looks at a line, sees which two dots it joins, and puts their own pencil between the same two — holding a shape in the eye while the hand catches up with it. Occupational therapists call it visual motor integration; it is the skill underneath handwriting, and the hardest one to practice without making a child write.

How it works
Ages4–7TypeCoordination

Three dots, one line, and then the next one.

A copy the figure worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. Pick the grid — three dots across with four lines, four across with six, or four across with eight lines that cross each other — and generate. Every sheet holds fifteen figures, each one with its own empty grid beside it, and every figure is built fresh, so the same settings never print the same page twice. The dots a line stops on are printed heavier than the rest, so a child can see where the pencil went down and came up.

At one line in the figure on the left, and at the two dots it joins.

Find

The same two dots on the empty grid beside it.

Draw

The line between them, then move on to the next one.

Grid and lines

Fifteen figures a sheet at every level. The hardest is the only one whose lines cross each other, and the only one drawn in two strokes.
