How to use this worksheet
- Plan the copy from the model: a closed ball, a wave of icing from edge to edge, a zigzag peel strip on top and a small drop of jam hanging off the side.
- Each row opens with one solid and one dashed doughnut; your child draws the remaining seven to nine alone, first the ball, then the icing wave, the peel and the jam drop.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing the doughnut from the model, your child plans four parts in order and places each one by eye: the icing across the ball, the peel on top, the jam outside the outline. Comparing the copy with the model trains careful checking, and the small details test fine control after the big round shape.
Play idea
Tell your child about Fat Thursday, the Polish doughnut day, then let them invent a brand-new filling for the copy closest to the model.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is a Polish doughnut the same as a ring doughnut?
No, it has no hole: it is a ball of dough with a filling inside, so every copy starts with a full circle rather than a ring.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8: only one dashed doughnut per row, so the child recreates four parts from memory, showing whether round shapes and small details are well controlled.
How long does this worksheet take?
Usually 15–20 minutes for the six rows of doughnuts; if the icing waves become scribbles, stop after three rows and finish the rest another time.
