How to use this worksheet
- Before drawing, study the model and plan the order: the body line with hood and trunk, the four corners of the roof, the window inside it and, last, the two wheels.
- Each of the six rows has one solid car and one dashed car before the empty space; ask your child to find the corners of the roof on the model first, because the slanted roof is what gives the car its shape.
What this worksheet teaches
Copying a car without dashes is a small design job for a 6–8 year old: the body sets the length, the roof has to sit in the middle with both slants matching, and the wheels must line up under the ends. Planning the order and then checking each car against the model is the same look, plan and check routine used when copying sentences from the board.
Play idea
Car show: when the page is finished, your child awards first prize to the car closest to the model and picks one more car to customize with racing stripes.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How can my child keep the wheels the same size without dashes?
Draw both wheels one right after the other and compare them with the wheels on the model; a second wheel drawn much later often comes out smaller.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — copying six rows of cars from one model shows whether they can combine straight lines, a slanted roof and round wheels on their own.
How long does this worksheet take?
Six rows of cars take most 6–8-year-olds 10–15 minutes; if the wheels begin to shrink, a pause before the last two rows helps more than hurrying.
