How to use this worksheet
- The traced magnifying glasses set the size: note how big the lens is and how long the handle runs, then keep both the same in the freehand part.
- In each of the five rows the dashes cover roughly the first half of the magnifying glasses; after the last dashed one your child carries on alone, keeping every lens as big as the solid model.
What this worksheet teaches
After the dashes stop, the child has to close each circle at the same size and keep an even gap before the next one, which trains rhythm across a line. The handle must join the lens at the same spot every time, so this sheet also practices starting a stroke exactly where it belongs — useful for joining the parts of letters like a, d and q.
Play idea
Turn the page into a detective case: in each freehand lens your child draws a tiny clue — a footprint, a key, a button — and you guess what mystery is being solved.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How do we keep the freehand lenses round and the same size?
Look at the last dashed lens and start each new circle at the same height; a slow, steady turn closes the circle neatly, and a slightly oval lens is still fine.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — they trace the dashed lenses at the start of each row and then draw the remaining magnifying glasses freehand, a good bridge toward drawing without help.
What if the handles on the freehand magnifying glasses point in different directions?
Show your child that on the solid model the handle always leaves the lens at the lower right and slants down; saying “lens, then down to the right” before each one keeps them matching.
