How to use this worksheet
- Study the model first: a five-pointed star in the top right corner and three long tail lines, straight and parallel, running diagonally down to the left.
- Ask your child to point to where the star sits and where the tail ends on the solid comet; after the one dashed comet, the rest of each of the six rows is free drawing.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing from the model, your child plans each comet — star first, then three tail lines — and checks whether the points are sharp and the lines stay parallel and about equally long.
Play idea
Night sky map: after each row your child picks the comet most like the model, gives it a name and adds it to a drawn map of the night sky.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How should my child draw the star without dashes?
One point at a time, going around the star and stopping at each tip; a slower star with clear points is better than a quick round blob.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — the comet is a short shape, so six rows of it copied from a single model are a friendly way to test sharp points and parallel lines.
How long does this worksheet take?
The comets are quick shapes, so about 10 minutes covers all six rows; if the stars lose their points, finish the last rows another time.
