About this worksheet

Ten animal words to trace next to colorful pictures: bear, cow, duck, frog, mouse, owl, penguin, rabbit, sheep and whale. Each word has a dark dashed copy with start dots and a light copy on 4-line paper. Big pictures and only a few tasks per page make it a gentle start for kindergartners.

Tips for using it

Check the grip first: pencil held between thumb and pointer finger, resting on the middle finger.
Leave a finger space between words; let your child lay a finger on the line after each word.
Short, daily practice beats long sessions; stop while it is still fun.

Printing tips

Download the PDF for the sharpest result and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). The PNG is 300 DPI, which is handy for tablets and coloring apps. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
