How to use this worksheet
- The kettle's body is wider at the bottom than at the lid, the handle is a tall arch over the top, the straight spout sticks out on the left and a small knob sits on the lid.
- Five dashed kettles follow the model in each row, then the lines are empty; your child draws the body first, then the handle from one side of the lid to the other, remembering that the spout points out to the left.
What this worksheet teaches
In the traced half your child feels the rhythm of the kettle (slanted sides, arch, spout), and in the empty half repeats that rhythm alone, keeping the same width and leaving even gaps between kettles.
Play idea
Kitchen shelf: draw a line under each row as a shelf and let your child give every kettle drawn alone its own pattern, such as dots, stripes or hearts.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How do I help my child keep the freehand kettles the same size?
Look at the last dashed kettle before the empty part: its body is the width to copy, and the handle arch should rise just as high above the lid.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — they trace five medium kettles per row and then draw four or five alone, which shows whether they can keep the handle arch round and the spout slanted without dashes.
What if the kettles drawn alone get a handle on the side instead of over the top?
Compare them with the model: on this kettle the handle is a tall arch over the lid and the spout sticks out on the left; drawing the arch right after the body stops the mix-up.
