They are like levels, there are easy ones for the beginners or the advanced ones for the older kids.

• For kids around the age of 2, it is best to start them off with simple tracing lines. This could be just straight lines that are horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Whichever direction it goes, as long as it is a straight line, they can work on those.
• Once they get older, they can work on something a little bit harder. They can work on straight lines too but with some motion, you can also introduce curved ones like a wave line, and kids at the age of 3 can also begin tracing zigzag lines.
• As for kids that are between the age of 4 and 5, they can work on advanced line tracing sheets. Some examples of which are dotted or dashed lines that are formed into shapes and figures.
