How to use this worksheet
- Look at the model first: a round bulb, a curved layer line inside it, three shoots fanning out from one point on top and zigzag roots at the bottom.
- After the model and the one dashed onion, your child draws seven to ten onions per row with no dashes: bulb, three shoots, roots and the curve inside, in that order every time.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing onions from a model means holding a four-step plan in mind — bulb, shoots, roots, inner curve — and checking the model after each onion. Starting several lines from one point, as the shoots do, is the same skill used for drawing suns, flowers and stars.
Play idea
Vegetable soup: when the rows are finished, your child draws a big pot, picks the neatest onion from each row to go in, and names another vegetable to add for every onion.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How can my child make the three shoots start from one point?
Put a small dot on top of the bulb first, then draw the middle shoot up and the two side shoots out from the same dot; comparing with the model shows whether they spread evenly.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — drawing an onion with four parts from memory across six medium rows shows whether small details stay neat once the dashes are gone.
How long does this worksheet take?
About 20 minutes, because every onion has four parts; two rows a day for three days is a good pace if the roots start to get messy.
