How to do this activity
- Print in portrait orientation using fit to page, keeping all four borders visible. Choose a pencil and coloring pencils.
- Work across the rows: trace loops, the spiral, waves and diagonal strokes. Repeat each pattern as hair, leaving room between the marks.
- Color the finished hair and clothes or faces. Tell someone which movement you liked best.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Make a large spiral in the air first. Keep a little space between its turns and stop before the lines become crowded.
- Choose just one customer for a short session. Lift the pencil when needed and keep the hand relaxed.
