This graphomotor exercise is designed to help children improve their fine motor coordination by tracing lines that follow different patterns. Each line is associated with a vehicle (boat, submarine, plane, helicopter, hot air balloon, and rocket), making the exercise both fun and educational. The lines vary in shape, from waves to zigzags and straight lines, allowing children to practice different hand movements.

To complete the exercise, children should follow the dotted lines with a pencil or colored pencils, starting with simpler waves and progressing to more complex lines. They can trace each line multiple times to improve precision, and then try drawing the lines without guides. This exercise can also be done with markers for a more enjoyable experience. Encourage children to see it as a fun game while improving their motor skills!
Once they master the strokes, suggest that they draw their paths or patterns, connecting the vehicles and creating a story or adventure on paper.
These types of fine motor exercises are essential for developing writing skills in children. Not only do they help improve hand-eye coordination, but they also motivate children to enjoy the creative process through fun characters and vehicles. Associating the strokes with playful activities, such as flying a plane or navigating a submarine, allows children to learn without realizing it, while experimenting with shapes and directions.
Additionally, this exercise plays an important role in preparing children for writing, as it allows them to practice stroke control, pencil pressure, and the concentration needed to follow patterns.
