Rainbow Arch Line Tracing Worksheet – Pre-Writing Practice

Follow the rainbow across the sky with this cheerful rainbow arch line tracing worksheet!
Young learners can trace smooth curved lines that mimic the arches of a rainbow, helping them build the fine motor skills, hand control, and coordination needed for early handwriting.

Pre-writing tracing activities like this one strengthen pencil grip, improve focus, and prepare little hands for forming letters and shapes.
The bright rainbow theme adds a joyful touch, turning skill-building into a playful adventure.

What’s Inside the Rainbow Arch Worksheet

This printable includes a friendly, uncluttered design made especially for preschoolers just beginning their handwriting journey.

• 5 arch-shaped dotted lines arranged across the page for easy tracing
• A colorful rainbow illustration on the left that guides children’s movement
• Clear dotted paths that encourage steady, controlled curved strokes
• Large spacing and open layout so kids can stay confident and relaxed

Tracing from left to right helps reinforce directionality, a key early writing concept that supports reading and letter formation later on.
Children naturally practice eye tracking and rhythm as they follow the rainbow’s curve.

How to Use This Printable

1. Print on A4 or US Letter paper.
2. Provide pencils, crayons, or washable markers.
3. Show children how to start at the rainbow and trace over each dotted arch.
4. Encourage slow, smooth tracing motions for better control.
5. Repeat each line using different colors to create a multi-colored rainbow effect!
6. Once confident, invite kids to draw their own arches underneath for extra practice.

To extend learning, pair this worksheet with a rainbow craft or a short discussion about colors and weather.
You can even play soft music and turn tracing time into a calming fine-motor exercise that builds focus and patience.
