Looking for free printable tracing pages for preschoolers that are actually fun, colorful and engaging?
Meet Trace with Teddy – a gentle, playful way to introduce pre-writing skills without pressure, boredom, or endless dotted lines.
This free tracing printable was created with preschoolers in mind and designed to feel more like a game than a worksheet. Tracing becomes an adventure, and learning happens naturally along the way.
Traditional tracing worksheets often look the same: black dotted lines, repeated over and over. While they do practice hand control, they can feel boring and overwhelming for young children.
Creative tracing pages, like Trace with Teddy, work differently.
They:
Instead of “trace this line,” children help Teddy, follow paths, and solve small visual tasks. The tracing happens almost by accident – and that’s exactly why it works so well.
Trace with Teddy is a set of free printable tracing pages for preschoolers designed to support early pre-writing skills through playful, intuitive activities.
The set includes 4 creative tracing pages where children:
There are no written instructions.
Instead, colorful arrows clearly show the direction of tracing, making the pages easy to understand even for younger preschoolers.
Every page in Trace with Teddy is:
The tasks are intuitive, so children can work independently or with gentle guidance. Tracing feels calm and achievable, which is especially important at the preschool stage.
To make tracing even more fun, Trace with Teddy can be used in two flexible ways:
Digital tracing is a great option for mess-free play and unlimited practice. Kids can trace, erase, and try again as many times as they want, which builds confidence and keeps learning relaxed.

Today I want to share something that little hands, curious minds, and yes… adults craving a quiet creative moment absolutely love.
More and more parents ask me:
Can kids color on an iPad?
How do you color on a tablet?
Is it possible to trace coloring pages digitally?
The answer is a big yes – and it can be incredibly fun.
Personally, I love digital coloring because it lets children create freely without wasting paper or printer ink. It’s also a more eco-friendly option and a great way to enjoy creative play anytime, anywhere.
All the materials I share on the blog in PNG format or even JPGs – coloring pages, tracing worksheets, pre-writing lines and learning activities for kids – can be opened on any tablet and colored over and over again.
Children can draw, erase, try again, improve their lines and start fresh whenever they want. There’s no pressure and no fear of making mistakes.
In my paid activity packs available in the shop, you’ll also find high-quality PNG files included alongside PDFs, so you get the best of both worlds:
One set, double the fun.
Coloring and tracing on a screen can be surprisingly beneficial. Digital coloring is:
Kids have access to endless brushes, colors, markers, crayons, and erasers. They see digital coloring as pure fun, while quietly building important early learning skills like fine motor control and hand-eye coordination.
And the best part?
Here’s a simple guide for parents, grandparents, teachers, and kids who want to start coloring and tracing on a tablet.
Save the PNG file directly to your tablet or iPad.
Any app that allows drawing over images will work. Popular options include:
Procreate
Sketchbook
Ibis Paint
This is an important step. It keeps the original image safe while your child colors and traces freely.
Crayon, marker, brush, pencil, or highlighter. Adjust colors, line thickness, or even add digital stickers.
Children practice fine motor skills, focus, and precision.
Adults relax their minds.
Everyone wins.
Save the finished picture as an image, create a digital art album, or send it to grandma – she’ll be very proud.
Here’s a little trick that makes digital coloring extra smooth and satisfying, especially in Procreate.
Now you can color freely without covering the black outlines.
You can also use the Color Drop shortcut – just drag a color into a closed shape and fill it instantly.
Fast, clean and very satisfying.
(Psst… there’s also a short video tutorial on my Instagram showing exactly how this works.)
Want to see how fun digital coloring can be? Download a free printable page from the Crazy About Crayons set, open it on your tablet and let your child color, trace, erase and start again. No mess, no pressure – just pure creative fun. Try it once and you’ll see how quickly kids fall in love with digital coloring and tracing.
