How to use this worksheet
- Name the parts on the solid pencil first: the eraser end with its stripe, the long body and the sharpened tip with the lead.
- Trace the long sides of the body from the dot, then the tip, the short lead line and the eraser stripe; the four big rows give the long lines plenty of room.
What this worksheet teaches
Two long parallel lines on a slant teach a young child to keep an even gap while moving the whole arm, and the tip teaches aiming at a point. Tracing a drawing tool is also a natural moment to look at how your child holds the real pencil.
Play idea
Rainbow row: your child adds color to the pencils of one row in rainbow order — red, orange, yellow, green, blue — naming each color aloud.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why is there a short line near the tip?
It shows the lead, the part that writes. Tracing it is a short, precise stroke, a nice contrast to the long sides of the pencil.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the large pencils are dashed from eraser to tip, so the child practices keeping two long slanted lines side by side.
How should my child hold the real pencil?
Between the thumb and index finger, resting on the middle finger, a little above the sharpened part; a relaxed grip makes long straight lines easier.
