How to use this worksheet
- Point to the three boxes on the solid dumbbell: a tall weight on the left, a thin bar in the middle and a tall weight on the right.
- Trace one weight, then the narrow bar, then the second weight, stopping briefly at every corner; the four large rows of dumbbells give room to keep the corners sharp.
What this worksheet teaches
Big dashed rectangles give a young child plenty of straight lines and sharp corners, and show that the bar must start and stop exactly at the edge of each weight.
Play idea
Hold a mini workout: after every traced dumbbell your child lifts two imaginary weights over their head, then goes on to the next one.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why only straight lines?
Rectangles are the easiest shape to trace with sharp corners, so a younger child can focus on stopping at each corner instead of steering around curves.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the big dumbbells are dashed all the way and use only straight lines, so the child can focus on sharp corners and on stopping exactly at the weights.
What if the pencil drifts off the dashed dumbbell?
Trace the first dumbbell together, saying "down, across, up" at each corner; if the lines still wander, trace only the two weights in one row and add the bars in the next.
