Description
Tracing patterns provides significant benefits for developing fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, visual and spatial awareness as well as pre-writing skills.
Tracing patterns assists children in familiarizing themselves with shapes and strokes, laying the foundation for writing letters and numbers while also promoting concentration and focus during the activity.
It also helps children learn how to make logical connections, use reasoning skills and the understanding of reading and writing from left to right.
How to Wonder & Bloom
Place the Bloom Board in front of you on a flat surface. Use your dowel stick to follow the patterns from left to right without picking up your dowel stick (one long movement). You can also practise with your finger!
Now place the clear Perspex insert into the space and use your whiteboard marker to trace the patterns from left to right in one flowing movement.
OTHER IDEAS:
Take a blank piece of paper and your writing tool of choice and carefully copy the patterns onto your piece of paper.
Create your own patterns on a piece of paper or on your Perspex insert.
