How to use this worksheet
- All the tops share one outline: wide at the top and narrowing to a sharp point, with a small handle above, a band across the middle and one motion line at the side.
- Four or five dashed tops follow the model in each row, then the space is empty; there your child draws the outline first from the bottom point, then the handle on top and the band across the middle.
What this worksheet teaches
After four or five traced tops, your child continues alone at the same size and spacing, and this is where aiming really starts: both slanted sides must meet under the handle with no dashes marking the point, and every top has to stand as tall as the traced ones.
Play idea
Longest spin: after each row, your child picks the freehand top that would “spin the longest” — the one with the sharpest point — and draws three extra motion lines beside it.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Does every freehand top need a motion line?
Yes, one short line beside each top, on the same side as on the model; it is small, so your child can add it after the outline and the band.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — after tracing a few medium tops per row, the child draws the rest alone, practicing how to aim two slanted sides so they meet at the bottom point.
What if the spinning tops drawn alone lean over or have one side much longer than the other?
Ask your child to put the bottom point in the middle, right under the handle, as on the model; then both sides come out the same length and the top stands up straight.
