Grasshoppers Tracing Worksheet — Medium Patterns to Draw Independently for Ages 5–6
Grasshoppers to draw from the model for ages 5–6: each of the six rows opens with one solid grasshopper and one dashed copy, and the rest of the row is blank space for drawing alone.

How to use this worksheet
- Before drawing, plan the order on the model: body first, then the back leg up to the knee and down to the foot, the short front legs, and the antenna last.
- Find the knee on the solid grasshopper and say which way the antenna curves, then trace the single dashed grasshopper and draw the rest of the row; repeat for all six rows.
What this worksheet teaches
Copying without dashes: the child judges the proportions alone — a back leg taller than the body, front legs much shorter — and then compares each drawing with the model, which trains careful looking as much as the hand.
Play idea
Pick the champion jumper: when the page is done, your child chooses the grasshopper most like the model and explains why — the same knee height, the same antenna curve.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
My child draws quickly and skips parts — what helps?
A quick check after each grasshopper: body, back leg, front legs, antenna. Four parts, four ticks, and only then on to the next one.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — after one model and one dashed grasshopper, the rest of each of the six rows is free drawing of long lines, a sharp knee and a curved antenna.
How long does this worksheet take?
Allow 10–15 minutes for the six rows of grasshoppers; a grasshopper hop between rows makes a good short break.
