About this activity
Four children with balloons are getting ready for a party. Give the guests pointed zigzags, bouncing loops, wide waves and a spiral curl. The four samples invite different movements before coloring the celebration hairstyles.

How to do this activity
- Print in portrait orientation using fit to page, keeping all four borders visible. Choose a pencil and coloring pencils.
- Trace zigzags, loops, waves and the spiral in reading order, then repeat each pattern as a party hairstyle. Keep a little space between the spiral’s turns.
- Color the finished hair and clothes or faces. Tell someone which movement you liked best.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Take turns being the customer and the stylist. Ask for “short curls” or “long waves” and let the child show how those requests change the marks.
- Choose just one customer for a short session. Lift the pencil when needed and keep the hand relaxed.
Frequently asked questions
Can two patterns be used on the same head?
Yes. Try zigzags at the top and curls at the sides, leaving room for both. One pattern is plenty for a younger child.
