Sunshine Line Rays

This engaging worksheet supports students in Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten as they practice drawing straight lines that radiate outward from a central circle to form sun rays. Through repeated stroke practice, learners strengthen directional control, pencil pressure, spatial alignment, and fine motor coordination while developing the foundational movements needed for early handwriting and letter formation.

Academic Focus

• Pre-Writing Skills (Early Childhood) – Develop straight-line strokes used in many letters and shapes
• Fine Motor Control – Practice clean line beginnings and endings with consistent pencil pressure
• Visual Motor Integration – Strengthen directionality by drawing lines that radiate outward evenly
• Handwriting Readiness – Build finger strength and stroke consistency through repetition

Learning Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed to align with early writing and motor development goals
• Clear, Purposeful Design – Focuses specifically on straight-line formation and control
• Engaging Theme – “Making sunshine” adds creativity and motivation to a skill-based task
• Flexible Use – Ideal for writing centers, morning work, OT support, RTI, or homeschool instruction
• Low Prep – Simple print-and-go worksheet requiring only basic materials

This printable pre-writing worksheet helps young learners gain confidence with straight-line strokes, spacing awareness, and pencil control. By repeatedly drawing sun rays, students improve fine motor strength, visual motor coordination, and stroke consistency that support future handwriting success. Whether used in a classroom or homeschool setting, this worksheet provides a fun and effective way to reinforce early writing foundations through purposeful line practice.
