This free number 0 tracing worksheet helps kids learn to write zero the same way every time. Trace the dotted rows, then try the blank lines. Pick a line size, print on Letter or A4, and pair it with a quick counting game.
How to write the number 0
- Start at the top line.
- Curve to the left, down around the bottom line, and back up to close a tall oval.
Teaching tip for 0
Zero is taller and thinner than the letter O, so keep the oval narrow. Kids often skip zero when counting, so practice it as "none" with an empty cup or plate.
Count to 0 with real things
- Show an empty plate and say "zero cookies"
- Take all the blocks out of a box and count what is left: zero
- Ask how many elephants are in the room, then write 0
Writing a number sticks better when your child has just counted that many things with their hands.
