How to use this worksheet
- Name the parts as you trace: a round ball of dough, wavy icing across the middle, a zigzag strip of orange peel on top and a drop of jam on the side.
- Start at the dark dot on top of the doughnut and trace the ball all the way around; then add the wavy icing across the middle, the peel zigzag on top and the jam drop on the right.
What this worksheet teaches
Tracing the large doughnut, your child closes one big circle, then follows a wavy icing line across it and a small jam drop outside it. Moving from a large round shape to small uneven waves and then out past the edge gives three different movements in one familiar treat.
Play idea
Make a play dough doughnut together, press on a strip of icing and a jam drop, then find the same parts on the first dashed doughnut.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What is a Polish doughnut?
A round filled doughnut with no hole, topped with icing and orange peel; in Poland almost everyone eats them on Fat Thursday, just before Lent.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5: the doughnuts are nearly an inch across and dashed in all four rows, so the child can focus on closing a big round shape and on the bumpy icing line.
What if my child strays off the dashed doughnuts?
Trace the first doughnut together, hand over hand, and let your child go slowly on the wavy icing; a slightly bumpy ball matters less than joining the circle at the top.
