How to use this worksheet
- Show your child the comet: a five-pointed star up in the top right with three long straight tail lines streaming down to the left.
- In all four large rows, trace the star of each dashed comet first and then its three tail lines down to the left, as the dark dot and the arrow on the solid comet show; rest the hand after each row.
What this worksheet teaches
Tracing a comet gives two kinds of movement: short, sharp turns around the star points and long, straight sweeps down the tail.
Play idea
Make a comet with a flashlight: in a dark room, sweep the beam across the ceiling and let your child follow it with a finger, then trace the next row.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does the comet start with the star?
The dark dot sits on the star, and finishing the star first gives the three tail lines a clear place to begin.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 3–4 — each comet is only a star and three straight lines, and with every one of the four rows dashed it makes a gentle first worksheet for sharp points.
What if my child keeps missing the comet's dashes?
Trace the first comet together, hand over hand; the star's points are the hardest part, so go slowly there and let the long tail lines be a quicker, easier stroke.
