How to use this worksheet
- Study the model before copying: the lens is a full circle, the handle is a thick bar that leaves the lens at the lower right, and the shine is a short curve in the upper left of the glass.
- Only the first magnifying glass in each of the six rows is solid and the second is dashed; before drawing the rest, ask your child to show where the handle meets the lens, because that joint decides the whole shape.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing the magnifying glass from the model means planning three parts and checking their positions: the circle must close, the handle must touch it at one point and slant the same way, and the shine must sit inside. Comparing each copy with the model trains attention to position and direction, which helps later with letters such as b, d, p and q.
Play idea
Make a detective badge: your child cuts out the best-copied magnifying glass, tapes it to a sweater and then searches the room for three round things.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What should my child look at on the model before drawing?
Which way the handle slants and where the shine sits inside the lens; noticing these details first makes the freehand magnifying glasses match the model.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — with just one solid and one dashed example per row, six rows of magnifying glasses show clearly whether your child can close a circle and attach a handle alone.
How long does this worksheet take?
Plan about 15 minutes for all six rows of magnifying glasses; if the lenses start turning into ovals, stop after three rows and do the rest the next day.
