Trace the Slanted Lines, Down the Slide
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Trace the Slanted Lines, Down the Slide" is written for Preschool (Ages 3-5). Children who are new to this can work with a grown-up beside them, and the instructions are meant to be read aloud. Older children who need more practice with tracing lines can use it as a short review.
Free printable preschool fine motor worksheet: trace slanted lines to help children slide down into a sandbox, ball pit, leaf pile and pool. Part of our tracing lines fine motor skills collection.
How do I use this worksheet?
Start with the straight and up and down lines, then try the harder slants, zigzags and loops. Let your child trace a path with a finger before using a crayon, and keep the paper still with the other hand. Wobbly lines are fine at this age.
What students will practice
- Students will trace straight, up and down, slanted, wavy, zigzag and looped lines from start to finish.
- Students will begin each line at the green dot and keep the pencil on the dashed path.
- Students will build the hand control they need for the strokes that make up letters.

What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Six tracing pages, one kind of line on each: straight paths that take animals home, up and down rain, slanted lines down slides, wavy lines for fish, zigzag bunny hops and loops that carry bees to flowers. Every path starts at a green dot and ends at a picture, so the child can see where the line is going.
Can I use this tracing lines worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Preschool fine motor skills, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with tracing lines. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
