How to use this worksheet
- Keep every free pineapple the size of the dashed ones: an upright oval with a net of crossing lines and a crown of leaves, all between the two guide lines.
- In each of the five rows the dashes cover about the first half of the pineapples; your child then draws the rest alone, keeping the crown leaves growing from one spot on top like on the solid model.
What this worksheet teaches
Half tracing is the step between following and drawing. While tracing, a 4–5 year old learns the order of the parts; in the free half the same pineapple has to be built from memory, keeping the body the same size and the gaps between the fruits even. The crossing lines are a good test of control, because two slanting directions have to fit inside a small shape without running over its edge.
Play idea
Pineapple count: when a row is finished, your child counts the traced pineapples and the freehand ones separately, says which group is bigger, and gives the best freehand pineapple a smiling face.
