This pack is made with 3-4 years old in mind.
With that being said, we would start with some basic lines tracing first, before we go into complicated tracing.
Pre-Writing Tracing #1: Horizontal Tracing
We start with horizontal line tracing because that is among the lines that toddlers usually writes randomly.
With provided lines, they can focus on tracing straight horizontal lines.

Vertical lines make up letters such as the uppercase letters of D, E, F and more.
It also makes up numbers such as number 1 and number 4.

I included 5 types of waves tracing in this pack.
Waves lines are the lines that shape the letter s, o, p, lowercase letter q, letter r, letter m, letter n and more.
It also makes up the numbers such as number 2, number 3 and number 5.

Pre-Writing Tracing #7: Shapes Tracing
There are 8 types of shapes to be traced in this pack.
There are circles, triangles, square and rectangles, trapezoids (4 sides shapes), diamonds (4 sides shapes), pentagon, hexagon and octagon.
We started with circles because that’s the most easiest for preschoolers to draw.
Pre-Writing Tracing #8: Numbers Tracing
When all of the above has been done, now is the time for a bit tricky and more meaningful tracing.
We’ll start to trace some numbers first.
In this pack, the numbers already have tracing lines, so you just have to follow the lines.
