While the Table method of inserting lines to write on is a good technique, you can also do the following:

Type the four lines of text, and then at the "Insert" tab click "Shape" drop down arrow, and select the very first option "Line." Then, while holding the "Shift" key down draw a line under the first line of text. Select the line and hold down the "Ctrl" key. You will see a tiny plus sign, which indicates that if you drag the line it will copy it down as many times as needed. Copy it down so that the lines rests under each sentence.

If you just want to print lines for your child to write on (by hand), then there are several methods you can use. When I want to print out a lot of lines for, say, a sign-up sheet, here's how I do it.

1. In a blank document, press Enter so that you have two paragraphs.
2. Select both paragraphs.
3. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click on the arrow next to the Borders button (if you haven't previously used it in a given Word session, its ScreenTip will say "Bottom Border") and select Inside Horizontal Border.
4. Each time you press Enter, you'll get another line.
5. You may find that Word's default spacing is adequate, but if you want the lines farther apart, you can change the Spacing Before/After. One quick way is to select all the lines and press Ctrl+0, which will add 12 points Spacing Before. To adjust spacing more precisely, you can select all the paragraphs, right-click, choose Paragraph..., and add more Spacing Before or After or remove the spacing and set the line spacing to an Exact amount (such as 24 or 36 points, the equivalent of double- or triple-spacing on a typewriter).

In Word 2010, go to Insert>Shapes>Select Lines.  Once you start using the Lines more than once, it opens the Drawing Toolbar.  Something I could not find anywhere until I did this.  You can lengthen or shorten your line by clicking on the end handles, and you can copy and move by clicking on the line.
