How to use this worksheet
- When the dashes stop, the bulb must keep its shape and size: a round glass narrowing into a short neck, a small trapezoid base below it and two short rays on the sides, with the same gap before the next bulb.
- After the dashed bulbs in the first half of each row, your child draws the rest alone; remind them that the base is a separate small shape under the neck and the rays start a little away from the glass.
What this worksheet teaches
The traced half sets the size of the glass and the spacing between bulbs; the empty half shows whether your child keeps that rhythm, bends the curve into a straight neck and starts the rays off the glass without help.
Play idea
Make a string of party lights: when a row is done, your child joins the bulbs with one wavy wire along their bases and adds color to every second bulb.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Should the bulbs drawn alone match the traced ones in size?
Yes — ask your child to keep the top of each glass level with the dashed bulbs and to leave the same gap before the next one; even spacing matters more than a perfect curve at this stage.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — tracing about five medium bulbs per row and then drawing four or five alone shows whether they can turn a curve into a straight neck without the dashes.
What if the light bulbs drawn alone have no neck or the base is stuck to the glass?
Point to the model: the glass narrows into a short neck and the base sits just below it with a small gap; drawing the neck lines straight down before adding the base usually fixes it.
