How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the large dot 1, the peak of the roof.
  • Dots 2 and 3 make the right eave, and 4 is the bottom corner of the wall.
  • Dots 5 to 8 go up, across and down around the door; 9, 10 and 11 climb the left wall to the other eave.
  • Only after the last line from 11 to 1, turn to page two and compare with the red answer key.

What this worksheet teaches

This house mixes three kinds of stroke: slanted roof lines, straight vertical walls and the right-angled turns of the door. Around the door the line turns four times in a row, which asks the child to slow down and stop exactly on each dot, the same control needed for capital letters with sharp corners. Reading 10 and 11 introduces two-digit numbers, and checking the finished drawing against the answer key builds the habit of checking one's own work.

Variation to try

Build a whole street. Next to the finished house, your child draws two more houses freehand, copying the roof and door shapes, then gives every house a different color and a number on its door.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

How does the answer key work?
Page two shows the same dots with the finished outline drawn in red. Let your child finish first, then compare the two pages line by line.
Why is the door part of the outline?
Dots 5 to 8 cut the door into the bottom edge of the house, so the finished shape already has an opening at ground level.
What if my child draws from 4 straight to 9?
Then the door disappears and the house gets a flat bottom. The answer key makes this easy to spot, so let your child find it there.
