Connected Loop Tracing Worksheet – Pre-Writing Practice

Help the bee buzz smoothly across the page to the flower!
This connected loop tracing worksheet encourages children to follow continuous cursive-style loops — movements that build rhythm, flow, and coordination for early handwriting.

By tracing small, connected “e” shapes, kids strengthen their fine motor control, pencil grip, and hand–eye coordination while preparing for letters like e, l, h, n, and m that connect across the baseline.

What’s Inside the Connected Loop Worksheet

This printable features a friendly and structured layout that helps preschoolers stay focused and engaged.

• 5 rows of connected looped dotted lines resembling cursive “e” patterns
• A cheerful bee on the left buzzing toward a flower on the right
• Smooth, continuous lines to promote rhythm and writing confidence
• Clean, beginner-friendly design with wide spacing for easy tracing

The bee’s flight path makes the exercise feel like a fun journey, encouraging children to stay patient and consistent as they move across each row.

How to Use This Printable

1. Print on A4 or US Letter paper.
2. Provide pencils, crayons, or washable markers for tracing.
3. Show kids how to start at the bee and trace the loops smoothly toward the flower.
4. Encourage slow, even movements, keeping the loops connected and flowing.
5. Repeat each line using different colors for added creativity.
6. Once confident, ask children to draw their own loops below the dotted lines.

You can add storytelling for fun: imagine the bee flying gently from flower to flower, leaving looping trails of pollen dust. This helps children connect motion with imagination and language development.
