How to use this worksheet
- Show your child the little round head, the long straight body like a stick and the four wings: two bumps above the body and two below.
- Trace the head and the long body first, then each pair of wings as two loops without lifting the pencil; four large rows of dragonflies give small hands room to loop slowly.
What this worksheet teaches
Tracing the wings is a first taste of loops: the pencil goes up and around, comes back down to the body and goes around again, while the long body is one calm straight line.
Play idea
Hum like buzzing wings while tracing each pair of wings, and stop humming when the pencil comes back to the body.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Should my child lift the pencil between the wings?
Not inside a pair: the two top wings are one stroke and so are the two bottom ones; lift the pencil only between the top pair and the bottom pair.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 3–4 — the large dragonflies are dashed across the whole row, so a small child can practice loops and a long straight body while the guide keeps each wing in place.
What if the pencil wanders off the dashed wings?
Loop the first pair of wings together, hand over hand, counting "one loop, two loops"; if the wings still wander, trace just the body of the next dragonfly and add its wings after a pause.
