How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the bottom tip. Go up the left edge, round over the top and back down the right edge to the tip.
- From the tip draw three ribs up to the rounded edge: left, middle, right. Each rib starts at the tip again.
- Lift the pencil and move on to the next shell.
What this worksheet teaches
The shell mixes straight edges with a rounded top, and the ribs are lines that spread out from one point in different directions. Returning to the same tip four times asks for accuracy, and stopping each rib exactly on the edge trains control of where a line ends. Six large rows give plenty of repetitions, so the shells usually get neater toward the bottom of the page.
Play idea
Beach count: your child counts the shells in each row, hides a small pearl in the neatest one and draws a tiny crab next to the last shell.

Where do the ribs start?
All three start at the bottom tip and go up to the rounded edge.
The ribs go past the edge. What helps?
Slow down near the top and stop as soon as the pencil touches the edge.
How long does the sheet take?
About ten to fifteen minutes; two or three rows are enough for one sitting.
