How to use this worksheet
- Point out the parts first: a long, slightly bent body lying on a slant, a pointy green cap on the upper end and a short stem sticking out of it.
- Start each of the four rows at the dark dot on the solid eggplant and trace the dashed vegetables, then the zigzag cap and stem; the large shapes make the slanted curve easy to follow.
What this worksheet teaches
Most early curves stand upright, but this one lies on a slant, so the hand has to follow a curve that runs diagonally across the row. The dashes keep 4–5 year olds on track, and the cap adds a short zigzag, quick little points that fit along the top edge. Big rows leave room for slow, careful turns.
Play idea
Veggie shop: after each row, your child adds purple to one eggplant and you name a dish it could go into; in the next row, your child gets to invent the dish.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How should my child trace the pointy cap?
Along the dashes in small ups and downs, from one side of the top to the other; the points do not have to be perfect, since the dashes show where each one goes.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the large eggplants are dashed all around, so your child can steer a long curve at an angle and a small zigzag without planning the shape.
The crayon slides off at the round end. What helps?
Trace the first eggplant together and go slowly around the rounded bottom end; the zigzag cap is short and forgiving.
