How to use this worksheet
- Before tracing, point to the parts of the model bulb and name them together: the round glass, the narrow neck, the little base shaped like a trapezoid and the two short rays of light beside it.
- On the model bulb the dark dot sits on the left where the round glass meets the neck: your child goes up and around the glass, down the neck, then traces the small base and the two rays; one large row at a time suits a 3-year-old.
What this worksheet teaches
Following the big dashed glass trains one wide, smooth movement of the whole arm that has to straighten into the neck, and the two tiny rays are the first short strokes your child starts away from the outline.
Play idea
Play "lights on, lights off": each time your child finishes a row, switch a real lamp on together, then off again before the next row starts.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What are the little lines next to each bulb?
They are rays of light; for a 3-year-old they are a first try at starting a stroke in empty space, a short way from the glass, so they can wait until the glass itself feels easy.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 3–4 — the large bulbs are fully dashed, so small hands can practice a big round curve that turns into straight lines, and the short rays give quick, easy wins.
What if the pencil slips off the dashed glass?
Trace the model bulb together, hand over hand, going slowly where the round glass turns into the straight neck; the rays can be skipped at first and added once the glass is steady.
