Extra Circle For Tracing in a child's hands
The extra circle for tracing is a plastic circle for drawing round outlines. The child holds the circle on a sheet of paper and traces around its edge, for example to draw a hemisphere. The catalogue entry for the Puzzle Map: World Parts mentions a plastic circle for tracing the hemispheres. The same entry says that sensorial work with the map lets children begin to build their knowledge of world geography. This product is an additional circle for tracing. Wipe it with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. The pack holds the circle only, without a map. For ages 3 to 6.
Pre-Writing Skills
Develops pencil grip and control through repeated tracing of curved lines essential for letter formation.
Hand-Eye Coordination
Strengthens visual-motor integration as children follow the template edge with their pencil.
Concentration
Encourages focused attention through the precise movements required for accurate tracing.
How to present it
Place the acrylic template on a piece of paper at the child's workspace. Provide a selection of colored pencils or crayons in a small container.
- 1Demonstrate holding the template steady with the non-dominant hand while tracing slowly around the inner edge with a pencil
- 2Invite the child to trace around the circle, starting at the top center
- 3After several traces, lift the template to reveal the overlapping circles on the paper
- 4Encourage multiple tracings with different colors to create patterns
3 tips for parents
- Practice sessions work best in 10-15 minute intervals when your child shows interest
- Avoid correcting 'imperfect' circles - the process matters more than the product
- Display completed tracings to acknowledge effort rather than accuracy
