How to use this worksheet
- Name the parts of the big dashed kettle together before tracing: a body with slanted sides, a tall handle arching over the lid, a spout and a small knob on top.
- Each kettle starts in the bottom-left corner, marked by the dark dot on the model: your child traces the body, then the tall handle arching over the top, the spout on the side and the small knob; 31 kettles in four large rows is plenty for one sitting.
What this worksheet teaches
Following the dashes, your child makes three big movements in one picture: slanted lines for the body, a wide arch from one side of the lid to the other for the handle, and a short push outward for the spout.
Play idea
Kettle is boiling: after each traced kettle your child whistles like a kettle and draws a curl of steam above the spout, and you talk about why only grown-ups touch a hot kettle.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why is the kettle handle over the lid and not on the side?
That is how many kettles look, and for tracing it means one big arch across the top; a round teapot with a side handle asks for quite different curves.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the large dashed kettles combine a body with slanted sides, a big arch and a narrow spout, so children practice three different movements with the dashes still guiding them.
What can I do when the pencil wanders off the dashed kettle?
Trace the model kettle together, hand over hand, and stop at the top of the handle arch before coming down; if the spout keeps drifting, trace it more slowly than the rest.
