Pingwiny
How to use this worksheet
- Each medium penguin leans slightly: smooth body, beak to the right, one flipper, a belly line inside the edge, an eye and two feet; keep that lean in the freehand half.
- The dashed penguins reach just past the middle of each of the five rows, and your child draws the rest alone, keeping the same tilt and the beak pointing right.
What this worksheet teaches
In the dashed half your child picks up the rhythm of one penguin after another; in the blank half the same size, the same lean and even gaps have to come from memory. The belly line stays the hardest detail, since it runs alongside the edge without touching it.
Play idea
Draw one long ice floe under the whole row and let your child count how many penguins fit on it; the evenly spaced ones each get a fish.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How can the freehand penguins keep the same lean?
Before each new one, slide the pencil down the back of the last dashed penguin, then draw the new body at the same slant with the beak still pointing right.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the first medium penguins are traced and the rest are drawn freehand, so your child tries the tilted body alone with a traced penguin just before the gap.
What if the freehand penguins lose their belly line or their feet?
Point to the belly line and the two feet on the last dashed penguin and add them together after the outline; the body comes first, the details after.
