How to use this worksheet
- Name each part as your child traces it: the round bulb, the curved line inside it, the three green shoots on top and the little zigzag roots below.
- On the model onion the dark dot is at the top of the bulb, where the shoots meet: your child goes around each bulb first, then traces the three shoots, the zigzag roots and the curve inside; with 32 onions in four large rows, a break halfway helps.
What this worksheet teaches
Going around the big bulb is a full circular movement for the whole arm; the three shoots then start from one spot and go off in different directions, and the tiny root zigzag slows the hand down — big and small movements in one shape.
Play idea
Onion garden: draw a line of soil under each row so the onions look planted, then count the shoots together — three on every onion — row by row.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does each onion have three shoots?
They are the green tops that grow from a sprouting onion; for the hand they are three short strokes that all start at one point on top of the bulb, a nice change from the big circle.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the large dashed onions combine a round bulb, straight shoots and a tiny zigzag, so children who can already close a circle also get practice with small details.
What if the pencil jumps off the dashes at the tiny roots?
Trace the model onion hand over hand and leave the tiny roots for last; if the pencil slips off the dashes at the zigzag, slow down and say “down, up, down, up” out loud.
