I think this is the first time I've made tracing pages in black and white instead of color. Please leave a comment to let me know which you prefer!
These prewriting practice tracing pages will help your child develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination when they trace along the path with a finger or draw the lines with a marker or crayon.
It’s easy to use these prewriting printables as a no-prep activity. Just print the pages and hand them over to your little learner.
You can also make the activity reusable by laminating the pages or slipping each one into a dry erase pocket.
- Package includes 6 dry erase pocket sleeves in 6 bright colors, which are red, green, yellow, orange, pink, and blue.
- Mr. Pen dry erase pocket sleeves are made with durable and long-lasting PET plastic with industrial-grade stitching according to the highest quality...
- Our dry erase pockets measure 10 x 14 inches, which makes them perfect for storing most sizes of paper or student activity sheets.

How to print and use fine motor tracing cards
This set has three different pages to print and trace with a mix of straight, wavy, and zig-zag paths to trace. The lines help your child or students prepare for writing common shapes found in numbers and letters.
The paths go from easy to more difficulty. Your child may not be able to trace each line on the first try - that's okay.
These fine motor practice pages were created with toddlers and preschoolers in mind. Older children who need additional practice with fine motor skills can benefit from them, too.
Materials needed:
- Your tracing printables
- Paper and a printer.
- Laminator, dry erase pockets, or page protectors. Optional.
- I love my inexpensive home laminator because it saves me the time and hassle of going to a copy center.
- Instead of dry erase pockets, you can use "secure" page protectors. They're sturdier than regular page protectors and have a flap to keep the page inside.
- Scissors or paper cutter, if you want to make tracing strips.
- Crayons, pencils, markers, etc. for tracing
- Markers create less friction. This means they are both easier to use and less of a fine motor challenge.
- Pencils and crayons have more friction and can provide a greater challenge. We like Honeyscticks beeswax crayons because the colors are easy to see and they're pure beeswax.
- Your child can also just use their finger for tracing!

Print the pages you want. Laminate and cut pages if you want to make strips or place the sheets in page protectors if you want to make them reusable. In the image below you can see my daughter using her car tracing pages after they were cut into strips:
