How to use this worksheet
- Start at the large dot 1, the tip of the left ear tuft.
- Go down to 2, across the top of the head to 3 and up to the right tuft at 4.
- Follow the dashes down the right side, around the bottom at 7 and up the left side to 9.
- Close with a line from 9 up to the tuft at 1.
What this worksheet teaches
The ear tufts make a dip at the top of the head, a small down-and-up movement right at the start, and then the path goes around a large, simple body. Big, easy shapes like this suit three- and four-year-olds, whose drawing movements still come largely from the whole arm. The dashed guide keeps the order of the numbers 1 to 9 clear, so the child can enjoy finishing a whole animal.
Play idea
Give the owl two huge round eyes, a small beak between them and feathers drawn as little U shapes on its tummy. Then dim the light for a moment, hoot like an owl together and talk about animals that are awake at night.
