Why tracing and finishing shapes activities are important

​

Tracing lines stimulate child’s eye - hand coordination. When children follow dotted lines with pencils or with another drawing tools, they simultaneously follow and compare their evolving lines with original ones. When they complete missing parts of shapes, their brains compare their drawing with model shapes. Both types of tasks strengthen visual-motor integration and fine-motor hand and fingers movements control.
