How to use this worksheet
- Before you start, point to the parts together: a round, egg-shaped body, crossing lines on it like a net, and leaves fanning up from one spot on top.
- Each of the four large rows opens with a solid pineapple, a dark dot and an arrow; trace the oval body first, then the criss-cross lines, and the leafy crown last, taking a rest between rows.
What this worksheet teaches
For a three- or four-year-old, one pineapple holds three kinds of movement: a big round sweep for the body, short slanted lines that cross each other, and curved leaves that all start from one point. Following the dashes lets the child feel each of them with the whole arm, without having to remember any order. Big rows keep the movements large and relaxed, which is exactly where pencil control begins.
Play idea
Name and add color: while tracing, your child says each part aloud, "body, net, leaves", then adds yellow to the body and green to the crown of every pineapple in the row.
