How to use this worksheet
- Look at the model together before starting: the start dot at the eraser end, the stripe near it, the tip at the upper right and the short lead line.
- Plan the strokes — long sides, eraser end, tip, lead, stripe — draw one pencil and check its slant and gap against the model before starting the next.
What this worksheet teaches
Copying a pencil with no dashes shows how steady your child’s straight lines are when nothing guides them. Keeping the two sides parallel, the tip centered and every pencil at the same slant across six rows trains the careful copying that school handwriting relies on.
Play idea
Pencil case: your child draws a long box around their three best pencils, adds a zipper and writes their own name on the case.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where does the eraser stripe go?
Near the lower end of the pencil, across the body from one long side to the other, just like on the model; it is a short straight line.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — six rows of slanted pencils copied from a model show how steady the straight lines are, a useful check next to school handwriting.
How long does this worksheet take?
About 10 minutes for six rows, since the shape is simple; if the lines start to wobble, finish the last rows after a rest.
