How to use this worksheet
- Name the parts of the plum as you trace: the big oval fruit, the groove running down its middle, and the stem with one leaf on top.
- Start at the dark dot at the top of the plum, trace the oval around and back to the stem, then draw the groove down the middle and the stem with its leaf.
What this worksheet teaches
Closing a big oval along the dashes builds a smooth, round arm movement, and the groove and the little leaf give a first try at small lines inside and on top of a shape.
Play idea
Add purple color to the traced plums, then count real plums or grapes into a bowl together.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does the plum have a line down the middle?
Real plums have a groove; on this sheet the dashes show it as a gentle curve from the stem to the bottom, traced after the oval is closed.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 3–4: each plum is almost an inch tall and fully dashed in all four rows, so the child practices one closed oval at a time with the line to hold on to.
What if the pencil slips off the dashed plum?
Hold the paper steady and trace the first plum together, hand over hand; for a 3-year-old a closed oval that comes out a little too wide is already a success.
