How to use this worksheet
- Before tracing, find the squirrel's parts together: the round tummy it sits on, the head with a pointed ear and an eye, and the huge bushy tail curving up behind it.
- Trace the head, ear and round tummy first, then the big tail rising behind the back with its curl at the tip; four large rows of squirrels let the tail curve fully.
What this worksheet teaches
Tracing the tail is one long sweeping curve that ends in a little curl, a flowing movement young hands rarely practice, while the body is a softer rounded outline.
Play idea
Hide a button under one of three cups after every traced squirrel and let your child find it, just like a squirrel looking for its hidden nuts.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How do you draw the curled tail?
Start low behind the body, sweep up in a big arc and finish with a small curl turning inward at the top; the dashes show exactly where the curl begins.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the large squirrels are dashed along the whole row, so the child can practice the long S-shaped tail and its curl while the guide shows exactly where to turn.
What if the pencil falls off the dashes on the tail?
Trace the first tail together in one slow sweep and stop before the curl; if the pencil jumps off, draw the curl as a separate small spiral winding inward.
