How to use this worksheet
- Before drawing alone, look at the model's proportions: the hook is small next to the shoulders, and the bar is the widest part, with rounded ends where it meets them.
- Only one hanger per row is dashed, so before each new one ask your child to show where the hook will curl and where the bar will end; six rows make a long line of hangers.
What this worksheet teaches
Copying the hanger from a model tests joining a curve to straight lines without a gap and making both shoulders slope at the same angle, as in the letters A, V and W.
Play idea
Ask your child to design a new hanger, with two hooks or a curved bar, draw it under the last row and explain what it would hold.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How should my child check a copied hanger?
Ask three questions: does the hook curl the same way as on the model, is the bar level, and do the shoulders meet right under the hook?
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — drawing the hook, diagonal shoulders and bar from one model shows whether your child can already join curves and slants neatly.
How long does this worksheet take?
Six rows of coat hangers take roughly 10–15 minutes; if the hooks start to look like plain lines, pause and return to the rest later.
