✏️ Trace the Bug Sentences!

Trace over the dotted words. Go slow — bugs move slowly in drains! 🐛

1. Trace this sentence:

The bug lives in the drain.

2. Trace this sentence:

The drain is wet and dark.

💡 Tip: If tracing is tricky today, you can circle the words instead, or tell a grown-up the sentence out loud!
