Sunburst Line Tracing

This printable worksheet helps students in Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten build early handwriting readiness by tracing dotted lines to complete a sun with radiating rays. The activity blends continuous curved tracing with straight and angled line work, strengthening pencil control, visual motor coordination, stroke transitions, and confidence as learners anticipate and complete a clear, symmetrical design.

Skills Reinforced

• Pre-Writing Skills (Early Childhood) – Practice shaping circular paths and straight/angled strokes used in many letters
• Fine Motor Development – Strengthen controlled line following, steady pressure, and smooth transitions
• Visual Motor Integration – Complete a balanced, symmetrical design by tracing each dotted segment accurately
• Handwriting Readiness – Prepare for letters that combine round and straight components

Instructional Support

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed to align with early handwriting and motor development goals
• Balanced Stroke Practice – Combines curves and angles for well-rounded pre-writing support
• Clear Visual Outcome – Bold sun shape helps students predict the finished form and stay motivated
• Flexible Use – Ideal for writing centers, morning work, OT support, RTI, or homeschool instruction
• Low Prep – Simple print-and-go worksheet requiring minimal materials

This pre-writing worksheet supports young learners as they develop coordination, control, and confidence with mixed stroke patterns. By tracing the sunburst design, students strengthen fine motor skills, visual tracking, and stroke consistency that transfer directly to early letter formation. Whether used in a classroom or homeschool setting, this worksheet provides an engaging and effective way to reinforce foundational handwriting skills through purposeful tracing practice.
