About this worksheet

A free printable spiral tracing worksheet: six snails with dashed spiral shells to trace from the green dot in the middle. The last shells fade to light dashes and dots. Great pencil-control practice for preschool and pre-K. Big pictures and only a few tasks per page make it a gentle start for kindergartners.

Tips for using it

Sit at a table with feet flat on the floor; good posture makes tracing much easier for little hands.
Let your child trace the line with a finger first, then with a crayon.
Praise staying close to the line, not perfection: wobbly is normal at this age.
