How to use this worksheet
- Look at the model before drawing: the candle is a narrow rectangle whose long sides stay parallel, it stands on a flat saucer, and the flame is a drop that comes to a point.
- Each freehand candle starts at the bottom left corner of its body, like the model, followed by the saucer underneath and the flame on top.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing candles from a single model asks your child to keep parallel sides by eye, plan the flame as one continuous stroke and compare each candle with the solid one — precision that carries over to tall letters.
Play idea
Turn one row into a birthday cake: draw icing under the candles and count them to match the age of someone in the family.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Can the flame be drawn without lifting the pencil?
Yes: start at the wick, curve up to the point and come back down on the other side, closing the drop in a single stroke.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — six rows of candles drawn from one model check parallel lines, a flat saucer and a small closed flame.
How long does this worksheet take?
About 10–15 minutes for the six rows; older children can draw all the candle bodies and saucers first and add every flame at the end.
