How to use this worksheet
- Every onion has a round bulb with one curved layer line, three shoots growing from a single point on top and a small zigzag of roots underneath.
- The dashed onions stop a little past the middle of each row; before your child draws the first onion on their own, count the three shoots on the model together and look at where the roots hang.
What this worksheet teaches
The dashed onions show where the shoots and roots belong; after them your child keeps drawing onions alone at the same size and spacing and has to remember four parts each time — a step from tracing to drawing that keeps the details in place.
Play idea
Market stall: your child sells the freehand onions and you buy them by describing one — “the onion with the longest shoots” or “the one with the roundest bulb” — for your child to find.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Does the curve inside the bulb matter on the freehand onions?
Yes, it shows the onion's layers and teaches placing a line inside a shape without touching the edge; it goes in last, from top to bottom, once the bulb is closed.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — after tracing four or five medium onions per row, the child draws the rest alone, which shows whether they can keep the shoots and roots in the right place.
What if my child forgets the shoots or the roots on the onions they draw alone?
Let your child finish all the bulbs in the empty part first, then go back and add shoots on top and roots below each one; checking the model once per onion is enough.
