Campfire Letter Tracing Practice Pages
Gather ‘round the campfire and get those pencils moving! These handwriting pages feature uppercase and lowercase letters T, M, and B—perfect for tiny campers ready to develop their early writing and letter recognition skills.
Aside from tracing the letters, kids will also trace the whole word of each item for an extra chance to reinforce spelling and letter formation. With cute and colorful illustrations setting the camping scene, these sheets will light up little learners’ imaginations.
Happy Trails Letter Maze Worksheets
Let’s take a trail hike—preschool style! These letter mazes are a twist on your usual letter recognition activity. Each page is like a trail map, and kids must follow the correct letter path to find the end of the path.
Using their favorite markers or crayons, they’ll shade their way through the letter maze—a playful chance for kids to develop focus, fine motor control, and letter recognition as they “hike” from start to finish!

These printables feature rows of camping gear and supplies arranged in different sequences—think tents, lanterns, campfires, and more. The challenge? Spot the pattern and figure out which item comes next!
Easy Squirrel Craft
There’s also a fun cut-and-paste section on every page. Kids will snip their answers at the bottom of the page and glue them onto the space at the end of each row. So those tiny fingers are in for some crafty scissor work, too!
Camp Fun Line Tracing Pages
Our line tracing pages are full of camping charm and forest friends. Each activity invites kids to trace dashed lines between matching images—like a campfire, canteen, or a friendly bear and squirrel—to help them develop pencil control and pre-writing skills.
One page features simple line types (straight, curved, zigzag), while the other adds more challenge with twisty turns and sharper angles. It’s an entertaining activity that also helps little hands get stronger and prepare for more writing exercises in the future!
