How to use this worksheet
- Every medium tomato is a slightly flattened circle with a pointed calyx and a curly stem on top; the traced ones show the width to keep in the free half.
- In each of the five rows only about the first half of the tomatoes is dashed; your child finishes the row alone, drawing each tomato as wide as the solid one before adding the calyx.
What this worksheet teaches
When the dashes end, your child has to close each circle alone, keep it as wide as the traced tomatoes and leave an even gap before the next one. Holding size and spacing steady along a row prepares the hand for letters that sit evenly on a line.
Play idea
Play grocer: you ask for three tomatoes, and your child picks the three freehand ones closest in size to the traced tomatoes before handing them over.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Does every tomato need to be the same size?
Close to it: with the last traced tomato as a guide, the freehand ones should be about as wide, and a slightly flat circle is fine because real tomatoes are flat too.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — tracing the first dashed tomatoes sets the size, and drawing the rest of each row freehand practices closing a circle without help.
What if the freehand tomatoes grow bigger toward the end of the row?
Mark where the next tomato should start with a light pencil dot a finger's width from the last one; the steady gap keeps each tomato the same size.
