How to use this worksheet
- Name the parts first: a tall mug with straight sides, a square handle on the right and two wiggly lines of steam rising from the top.
- Begin at the dark dot on the solid mug that opens each row and trace the dashed mugs, handle and steam too; with four large rows, a break after every row suits this age.
What this worksheet teaches
Straight and wavy lines with full support: the dashes lead the hand down and across the mug, around the handle's corners and then up in soft waves for the steam, so a young child feels the difference between a firm line and a loose one.
Play idea
Tea party: after every row, your child pours pretend tea for a teddy bear and blows on the traced steam to cool it down.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does the steam go up in waves?
Warm air rises and wobbles; tracing the wavy steam upward is a relaxed movement after the straight, stiff sides of the mug.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 3–4 — the large mugs are dashed all over, so your child can trace straight sides, right-angle corners and wavy steam with full support.
What if my child rounds off the corners of the mug?
Trace the first mug together and stop at each corner of the rectangle and the handle; short pauses at the corners stop the pencil from rounding them off.
