Tracing First Words
Six short words a child meets before any others.
A printable earns its place if it saves you the setting up. A scavenger hunt you can hand over on a rainy afternoon, a colour-matching sheet for a long car journey, a routine chart that ends the same argument every morning.
These are pages rather than PDFs. Open one, press the print button, and only the sheet comes out — no menus, no footer, nothing you did not want. There is nothing to download, nothing to lose in a downloads folder, and no email to hand over first.
Everything is designed to print in black and white on ordinary paper, because a printable that needs a full colour cartridge is not really free.
What you'll find here
-
Scavenger hunts
Indoors, in the garden, on a walk, in the car. Picture-led so a child who cannot read yet can still play.
-
Colouring and tracing
Big, simple shapes for small hands, and letter and number tracing for children who have started asking about writing.
-
Charts and cards
Routine charts, activity cards to pull from a jar, and simple games you can cut out and keep in a tin.
Printables are free for your own family, classroom or setting. Please link here rather than re-hosting the files.
