Lighthouse Tracing Worksheets for Preschool and Kindergarten
These printable lighthouse worksheets help young children practise dotted-line tracing through a calm sea-themed activity. Learners follow the dotted lines to complete a lighthouse scene with clouds, boats, waves, fish and ocean animals.
The activity is designed to build pencil control, hand-eye coordination and confidence before formal handwriting practice.
Recommended level: Preschool and Kindergarten, approximately ages 3-5. In the French school system, this corresponds mainly to maternelle: Petite Section, Moyenne Section and Grande Section, depending on the child’s pencil-control level.
Two lighthouse tracing versions
The set includes two printable A4 PDF worksheets: a black-and-white tracing page and a colorful sea-themed tracing page. Both versions can be used for quiet work, morning tubs, fine-motor centers or early finisher activities.
Trace the lighthouse
A simple black-and-white dotted-line activity where children trace the lighthouse, moon, clouds, waves, fish and boat. This version is especially useful when you want a low-ink printable page.
Lighthouse and sea
A more colorful version with a rich sea scene: lighthouse, boats, submarine, dolphin, turtle, octopus and waves. It adds visual motivation while keeping the tracing task accessible.

A helpful resource to keep children learning and having fun, at home or in the classroom.
Why this activity is useful
Tracing dotted lines is a gentle way to prepare children for handwriting. The lighthouse scene combines straight lines, curves, waves, circles and small details, so children practise several useful pre-writing movements without feeling like they are doing a formal handwriting drill.
Teachers and parents can also use the scene for oral language: naming sea animals, describing colors, counting objects or talking about boats and lighthouses.
