Animals That Fish Tracing Worksheet
A group of little animals has gone fishing, but the lines still need to be finished! Children trace the dotted fishing lines, clouds, wind and sea shapes while exploring a gentle underwater scene.
There are no long instructions to read. The page is mostly visual, so it works nicely for young children, multilingual groups and learners who are still developing confidence with a pencil.
What children do on this worksheet
- Follow long vertical, curved and diagonal fishing lines.
- Trace simple outlines such as clouds, wind, a sun and sea creatures.
- Practise stopping at the hook or illustrated object.
- Move the pencil across a large page without the activity feeling repetitive.

Preview and download
The same activity is supplied in two printable formats. Choose A4 for most countries or US Letter for classrooms using North American paper.
💡 A simple classroom tip: let the child trace one or two paths first with a finger. Then offer a pencil, crayon or fine felt-tip pen. A short, successful session is often more useful than finishing every line at once.
