How to use this worksheet
- Study the solid kettle first: a trapezoid body, a handle arching high over the lid, a short straight spout on the left and a knob in the middle of the lid.
- Your child draws eight or nine kettles per row without dashes: body wider at the bottom, handle arch over the top, spout on the left and knob on the lid, keeping the same order for every kettle.
What this worksheet teaches
Without dashes your child has to look at the model, plan the order of the lines and keep the proportions: a body wider at the bottom, a handle arch that clears the knob, and a short slanted spout.
Play idea
Spot the twin: when a row is done, your child marks the kettle most like the model with a small star; then you pick one too and the child checks whether you chose well.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How do we check a kettle drawn from the model?
Hold it next to the solid kettle and look at three things: is the body wider at the bottom, does the handle arch over the lid, and does the spout point left?
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — six medium rows of kettles drawn from one model show whether your child can keep slanted sides, a big arch and a spout in proportion, row after row.
How long does this worksheet take?
About 20 minutes; if the handle arches get lopsided by the fourth row, stop there and finish the last two rows another day.
