How to use this worksheet
- The freehand avocados need the same shape as the traced ones: narrow at the top, round and full at the bottom, with the pit line curving inside.
- Dashes run through about half of each row; for the rest, your child copies the avocado with its narrow top and wide bottom, then adds the pit curve.
What this worksheet teaches
Half tracing turns a copying job into a memory job: after the dashes end, a 5–6 year old has to remember that the oval is not a circle and keep that change of width from avocado to avocado. The pit line must sit inside without touching the edge, and every new avocado should stand at the same height as the traced ones.
Play idea
Pit or no pit: for each freehand avocado, your child decides whether this half still has its pit, draws a big round pit in the ones that do, and counts both kinds at the end of the row.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where should my child start the free avocados?
At the narrow top, just like the traced ones; the line goes down, around the wide bottom and back up, and the pit line comes last.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — half of every row is traced and half drawn freehand, so the page bridges tracing and drawing the avocado from the model.
What if the freehand avocados come out as plain circles?
Remind your child that the avocado is narrow at the top like a pear; starting at the pointed top, as on the model, keeps the shape from turning into a circle.
