Incorporate some essential pre-writing or handwriting practice when your children make a strawberry using our printable page from the Pond Coloring Club!
They can:
- count the ten seeds
- put counters or blocks on the seeds to practice 1:1 correspondence
- crayon before they paint or color with pencils
The patterns they can practice are:
- on the seeds, clockwise and anticlockwise spirals
- on the leaves - downstroke slanted lines and then back the other way to make a crosshatch (upstroke slanted lines)
- a left to right jumping pattern over the seeds
Once they're all completed you can also use them for a counting-by-tens number line. Each strawberry has ten seeds so count to discover how many seeds for the whole strawberry patch!
