How to use this worksheet
- Before each row, look closely at the model: a circle, a bow of two loops meeting at one point on top and a band that waves twice across the middle.
- In the empty part of each row your child draws eight to ten baubles alone; a good order is circle, bow, band, and all the bows should sit at the same height, close to the top line.
What this worksheet teaches
Only one dashed bauble opens each row, so your child must plan the drawing order, remember the details and check the model after every bauble. Keeping a whole row of circles round and all the bows at one height trains the look-and-check skill used when copying letters.
Play idea
Color code: your child invents a color rule for each row — red, gold, red, gold, or three colors repeating — and colors the baubles to follow it, while you try to guess the rule.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How should the bow be drawn from memory?
Start where the two loops meet: one loop out to the left and back, then one to the right and back, so it looks like a sideways figure eight; glancing at the model first keeps it small.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — only one dashed bauble per row means the child must remember the two loops of the bow and the two waves of the band, which shows how well they copy detail from a model.
How long does this worksheet take?
About 15–20 minutes for six rows; the bows take the most time, so if your child is tired after three rows, save the rest of the baubles for the next day.
