How to use this worksheet
- Each airship in the row repeats a long oval balloon, zigzag fins at the tail and a gondola below shaped like an upside-down trapezoid, all at the traced size.
- Only the first half or so of each of the five medium airship rows is dashed; after that your child draws the airships alone, keeping the oval long and level like the solid model.
What this worksheet teaches
The dashed airships set the length of the balloon, and continuing alone teaches your child to repeat that length and leave even gaps between the airships.
Play idea
Hold an airship race: after each row, count the freehand airships and see which row fit the most without squeezing them together.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where should the first freehand airship go?
Right after the last dashed one, with the same small gap; its nose starts where the next dashed balloon would have begun.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the traced airships show how long the balloon is and where the gondola hangs, and the free part is a first attempt at the whole shape without dashes.
What if the freehand airships turn into round balls?
Mark the nose and tail of the next balloon with two small dots, as far apart as on the model, and join them with the top and bottom curves; the oval stays long.
