These sheets are pre-writing pattern activities designed to support early mark-making and fine motor development. They feature bold tyre track patterns for children to trace, encouraging controlled hand movements and directional awareness. The patterns shown include: • Zig-zag lines – supporting changes in direction and sharp pencil control • Wavy/curved tracks – developing fluid arm and wrist movement • Circular tracks – promoting continuous movement and shape formation Each sheet uses a motivating “follow the track” theme (e.g. cars on a racing track) to engage children while practising early writing movements. The bold, high-contrast lines provide clear visual guidance, supporting children in developing: • Pencil grip and pressure control • Hand–eye coordination • Left-to-right tracking • Pre-cursive movement patterns These activities build the foundational motor patterns needed for letter formation in later writing development.

Can You Practise Your Stitches? – People Who Help Us A variety of simple, engaging fine motor sheets designed around the theme of People Who Help Us. These “practise your stitches” pages encourage children to develop early pencil control, hand–eye coordination and pre-writing skills in a fun and purposeful way. Children can: • Trace over the lines using pencils, pens or crayons • Follow the patterns with their fingers for early mark-making practice • Add loose parts (buttons, beads, pasta, pom poms, pebbles) along the lines • Use playdough “snakes” to build the stitch patterns • Practise sewing or threading over laminated sheets The different line styles (straight, zig-zag, curved and circular) support progression in mark-making and early writing development. Perfect for: • Nursery and Reception • Fine motor provision • Continuous provision enhancements • People Who Help Us topic work • Independent morning activities A simple, low-prep resource that can be printed, laminated and reused again and again.
