How to use this worksheet
- The dashed candles show what to keep in the empty half: a narrow body on a flat saucer and a drop-shaped flame just above the top, all at the same height.
- About half of each row is dashed; your child then draws the candles alone, keeping each one on its saucer and the flame just above the top.
What this worksheet teaches
Carrying on after the dashes, your child keeps the candle sides parallel and equally tall and the gaps between candles even — the same rhythm of tall, straight strokes that handwriting needs.
Play idea
Lights out: your child draws a little puff of smoke over every third candle in the freehand part, as if it had just been blown out.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Should the flame touch the top of the candle?
It sits just above the top, on a short wick; on the candles drawn alone, check that the flame stays centered and does not drift to the side.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — the half-traced rows of candles move from following dashes to copying three parts: body, saucer and flame.
What if the candles grow taller along the row?
Have your child stop each long side at the height of the dashed candles before adding the flame; checking against the model after every candle keeps the row even.
