What You’ll Do

To help kids work on important early childhood tracing skills during the Christmas season, provide them with tracing worksheets.

These printable activities will help improve their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and penmanship.

Print the Santa Claus tracing pages and present them to your child with crayons or colored pencils.

Have children start at the dots, and trace the line to the end. Encourage them to go slowly to follow the lines as carefully as possible.

You can make these free Christmas printables reusable by laminating them or slipping them in a dry erase pocket.

If you do this, let your child trace the lines with dry erase markers. Then, wipe them clean when they’re done.

Why use tracing activities with preschoolers?

Our free printable Christmas worksheets are a great way provide children with an opportunity to strengthen fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

First, when you provide your child with the pages in this Christmas theme pack, you allow them to practice pencil grip and pencil control.

Finally, they will strengthen hand-eye coordination as they practice tracing the dotted lines from the black dot to the bottom of the line.

Remember, tracing the lines is a difficult skill. So, start with straight or slightly curved lines. Print these pages as often as needed until your child is proficient.

Gradually increase the difficulty of the lines. Starting with the simplest lines and gradually making them harder allows your little learner to succeed over and over again!

How else can you use these printables?

You can use this Christmas-themed worksheet pack as coloring sheets if you print them on white paper. After coloring Santa’s face and hat, kids can complete the tracing practice portion.

If you want to use these as simple tracing practice pages, you can print them on colored printer paper for a fun twist.

If you need cutting practice pages, these free Christmas worksheets can work for that, as well. Have young learners start at the bottom of the page and cut the beard to the big black dot.
