Handwriting Practice for Kids: D is for Dog
As you are teaching your child the alphabet, it is important to also have them practice wiring and tracing the letter on paper.
If you are using my letter of the week crafts to teach your little one a new letter each week. these handwriting practice for kids printables is a great fine motor skill activity to include.
I make it easy. All you have to do is print out this sheet and do it with your preschooler or young learner.
At the end of this post I also have a link to the craft, a book list for the library, a Do a Dot printable, a snack and a few more activities if you’re interested.
Let me show you how to use this.
