Trace Number 4

One numeral, one page. The strip at the top shows a large 4 beside 4 apples, so the very first thing your child does is count — the numeral is tied to a real quantity before any pencil work begins.

The numeral 4 is a two-stroke number, and most children want to draw it in one wandering line. Watch for the stop: down, across, lift the pencil, then the tall line.

The grid below holds dotted 4s to trace, sized for small hands, and the bottom row is deliberately empty: after a page of guided strokes, writing the numeral unaided in the last boxes is the moment the practice sticks.
