How to use this worksheet
- Show your child the parts of the solid hammer first: the head at the top, the pointed claw at its left end and the long handle going down to the right.
- Trace the head together with the claw in one line from the dot, lift the pencil, then trace the two long sides of the handle from the head down; a short rest after each row keeps the lines straight.
What this worksheet teaches
A hammer is built only from straight lines, but none of them is level: the head slopes up and the handle slopes down. Tracing long slanted strokes with the whole arm prepares for the diagonal lines in letters such as A, V and W, and the claw adds two quick changes of direction.
Play idea
Tap the nail: after each traced hammer, your child draws a short nail next to its head and taps the table twice with a finger, saying “bang, bang”.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why is the hammer drawn on a slant?
So your child practices diagonal lines instead of only up-and-down ones; the head rises to the right and the handle goes down to the right from its middle.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the hammers are large and dashed along the whole row, so the child follows long straight slants without having to judge the angle.
My child wobbles on the long handle — what helps?
Trace the handle a little faster in one smooth stroke from the head down; slow, hesitant strokes on a long straight line tend to wobble more than confident ones.
