How to use this worksheet
- Before copying, list the model's parts in drawing order: the long oval balloon, the zigzag fins at the back and the small upside-down trapezoid gondola under the middle.
- A solid airship and one dashed airship start each of the six rows; ask your child to decide where the balloon's nose goes before drawing, so the oval fits the space.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing airships with no dashes asks your child to plan the stroke order, judge the length of the oval by eye and check the fins and gondola against the model.
Play idea
Make a flight plan: give each freehand airship a destination and draw a small flag above it with the first letter of that city.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How can my child tell if a freehand airship is right?
Hold it next to the model: the balloon should be about as long, the fins should zigzag at the tail and the gondola should hang below the middle.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — after the solid and dashed airship there are no dashes, so the child has to keep the balloon oval, the fins sharp and the gondola under the middle.
How long does this worksheet take?
Around 12–15 minutes for six rows of airships; if the balloons shrink toward the end of the row, stop and finish the fleet after a short break.
