How to use this worksheet
- When the dashes stop, your child builds the dragonfly again: head on the left, body stretching to the right, two wing loops above it and two below.
- About half of each of the five medium rows has dashed dragonflies; your child then loops the wings freehand, checking on the model that the top wings point up and the bottom wings point down.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing loops without dashes asks your child to judge the size of each wing and bring the pencil back to the body every time, the same skill used later for closing letters such as a and o.
Play idea
Find the two freehand dragonflies in a row that look most alike, call them twins and let your child give them names.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where do the wings join the body?
Close to the head: both pairs start just behind it, one bulging above the body and one below, so the tail end of the body stays bare.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — tracing the first dragonflies shows where the loops start, and drawing the rest alone is a first try at symmetry without help.
What if the freehand dragonfly wings end up different sizes?
Ask your child to draw both loops of one pair before moving on and to compare them with the model dragonfly; making the body a little longer often leaves room for even wings.
