Number 8 tracing worksheet

Eight is generally the hardest numeral to write: start at the top and draw an S, then keep going and close it back to the start — one continuous snake that crosses itself in the middle.

If the two-loop 'snowman' 8 appears instead (two stacked circles), that is a normal early form; the single-stroke S-then-close motion is the one worth practising toward, and tracing is exactly where it clicks.

When 8 feels automatic on its own, the 1–10 sheet mixes it back in with its neighbours — recognising it in a line-up is the next step after writing it alone.
