About Trace It
A dotted path waits on a white board, and a glowing dot shows where to go next. Your child follows the line with a finger, a little bee rides along at the tip and the path fills with color. Lifting the finger keeps the progress, so nobody has to start over.
How to play
- Put a finger on the glowing dot and follow the path.
- Tap the glowing dot again and again if dragging is hard.
- On a keyboard, press the arrow keys toward the dot, or Space.
What your child practices
- Hand and eye coordination
- Pre-writing strokes
- Shapes and numbers
- Steady finger control
