How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the large dot 1 in the bottom left and go up to 2.
  • Dots 3 to 6 draw the cabin: up to the roof at 4, along to 5 and down to 6.
  • Dots 7 and 8 are the front; 9 to 12 go around the front wheel.
  • Dots 13, 14 and 15 go around the rear wheel; close with 15 to 1.

What this worksheet teaches

The wheels are the fiddly part: three quick turns at each one, close to the body line. The cabin rises in the middle of the car, so the path climbs and drops again, and the line between the wheels is long and flat. Counting from 11 to 15 happens right at the end, around the wheels, when concentration is lowest, a gentle test of staying focused to the last dot.

Variation to try

Turn it into a particular vehicle: a taxi with a sign on the roof, a police car with a light, or the family car with everyone inside. Then design a number plate using your child's age or favorite number.
