How to use this worksheet
- The dashed shovels show what to copy in the empty half: a tall narrow handle with a pointed tip and a blade that flares out wide and round at the bottom.
- About half of each row is dashed; once the dashes end, your child keeps the same tall handle and wide blade, starting every shovel at its pointed tip.
What this worksheet teaches
Carrying on alone after the dashes, your child keeps each blade as wide and each handle as tall as the traced ones and spaces the shovels evenly — proportion and rhythm without a guide.
Play idea
Tool shed: after each row, your child draws a hook above every shovel drawn alone, as if hanging it up in a garden shed.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What should my child copy first when the dashes end?
The height of the handle: start the pointed tip level with the traced shovels, then let the blade flare out at the same place.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the first half of each row still has dashed shovels, and the second half is where your child draws the handle and blade alone.
What if the blade gets wider with every shovel?
Point back to the model at the start of the row and ask your child to match the blade width only; the handle usually fixes itself once the blade is right.
