Smiley Dot Pre-Writing Set for Preschool | Line & Shape Tracing Mats & Worksheets

Preschoolers follow a friendly smiley face along each line, starting at a green dot and finishing at a red one, building the exact pencil strokes they'll need for letters without it ever feeling like handwriting practice. With three progressive skill levels, from solid grey lines down to dot-to-dot, every child gets the right level of challenge.

Use the reusable laminated mats at your writing center or one-on-one instruction table, and use the print-and-go worksheets in writing binders or as morning pages! A happy pre-writing activity for your writing center!
