Before the first answer.
Simple printables for the littles.
A worksheet asks for 7. These ask a child to be able to make a 7. Tracing sheets for numbers, shapes, pre-writing strokes and the math signs — every one drawn as the path a pencil travels, with the start point ringed and the stroke order marked.

- Letter & A4 ready
Why these are not dotted outlines
Almost every tracing sheet you can print is a font with a dashed border. That asks a child to trace around the edge of a hollow letter, which is colouring-in. A formation sheet needs the centreline — the single path a pencil tip travels, in teaching order — and there is no way to get one out of a font. Every character here was drawn by hand as an open curve, then measured against nine real typefaces until its proportions matched.
Before numbers
The strokes and shapes a hand learns before it can make a digit.
The numbers
Numeral formation, with stroke order and a start point on every digit.
- Pre-K–KThe ten digits, 0 to 9 Number tracing Trace each digit over the dotted line, starting at the ring and following the arrow.
- Pre-K–K1 to 10, one row each Tracing numbers 1 to 10 Trace 1 through 10, one practice row for each number.
- Pre-K–Grade 11 to 20, one row each Tracing numbers 1 to 20 Trace 1 through 20, one practice row for each number.
- K–Grade 1Any range up to 100 Tracing numbers 1 to 100 Pick the stretch of numbers your child is working on and trace those.
The signs
The marks every arithmetic worksheet assumes a child can already write.
