How to use this worksheet
- The traced lighthouses show the proportions to carry on: the base is wider than the top, the lamp room sits right on top of the tower and the beam points to the right.
- The five medium rows carry dashed lighthouses up to roughly the middle; your child then draws the rest alone, checking on the model that each tower is narrower at the top.
What this worksheet teaches
Once the dashes stop, the child has to keep the same slant on both sides of the tower and the same height from one lighthouse to the next. Matching size and spacing to the traced part of the row builds the visual rhythm that later keeps handwriting even, while the lamp room and dome add a small shape that must be joined exactly to the top of the tower.
Play idea
Count the lighthouses in each row, then draw a small ship between each pair, so every ship has a light to follow home.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where should my child start a lighthouse in the empty part?
At the bottom left, like the model: up the left side, across the top and down the right side, then the lamp room, dome, beam and window — starting in the same place keeps the towers the same height.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — tracing the first lighthouses shows how much the sides slant, and drawing the rest alone is a first try at a tall shape with details on top.
What if the freehand lighthouses end up as plain rectangles or lean to one side?
Mark the top of the tower with two dots closer together than the base, then join base and dots with straight lines; the lighthouse will narrow and stand upright.
