How to use this worksheet

  • Start on the dark dot at the bottom of the first flame. Curve up the left side to the pointed tip, round down the right side and back along the bottom to the dot.
  • Draw the second flame the same way, starting at its own bottom point.
  • About six of the ten figures per row are dashed. In the empty half, keep the tips pointed and the bottoms round.

What this worksheet teaches

Each flame asks for a curve that ends in a sharp tip and then continues into a new curve, so the hand has to switch between turning smoothly and changing direction abruptly. The left side is a slight S-shaped curve, which prepares the flowing strokes of s and the joins in cursive writing. Matching two flames trains visual comparison. The half-tracing level then asks your child to keep the rhythm going once there are no more dashes.

Play idea

Build a campfire. Under each freehand pair of flames your child draws two crossed logs, then colors the flames yellow at the bottom and orange at the tip. Which campfire looks warmest?

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

My child's tips come out round. How can I help?
Suggest a tiny stop at the top before coming down, as if touching a point. That pause makes the tip sharp.
Why are there two flames in each figure?
Two flames side by side make the figure wider and give twice the practice of the curved-and-pointed movement in the same space.
Is this a good sheet for a left-handed child?
Yes. Left-handers can tilt the page slightly clockwise so the hand does not cover the dashes, and draw the flames in the same order.
