How to use this worksheet
- In the dashed half, notice how tall the neck is next to the body and how far apart the giraffes stand; the sideways giraffe with its horn, two straight legs and two round spots keeps that height and gap in the empty half.
- Trace the solid giraffe and the dashed ones after it; a little past the middle of each row the dashes end and your child draws four or five more giraffes alone.
What this worksheet teaches
The traced half sets the slant of the two neck lines and the spacing between animals; in the empty half your child repeats that slant, keeps the legs vertical and fits both spots inside without a guide.
Play idea
Measure the herd: your child finds the tallest and the shortest freehand giraffe in each row and marks them with a small leaf.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How can the neck stay the same width?
Draw both neck lines in the same direction, glancing at the first one while drawing the second, like railroad tracks that never meet or spread apart.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6: about half of each of the five rows is dashed, so the child copies the neck slant from the giraffes just traced, then keeps it steady on the empty half.
What if the giraffes drawn alone get shorter or lean over?
Compare the last freehand giraffe with the dashed one beside it: first check that the head reaches the top line, then that the neck slants the same way; fix one of these per row.
