How to use this worksheet
- Plan the copy by looking at the model: a wide, slightly flattened circle, a star-shaped calyx of short points sitting on top, and a curled stem.
- Each of the six rows shows one solid tomato and one dashed tomato, then empty space; ask your child to draw the round body first and add the calyx only when the circle is closed.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing from the model, your child decides the order (circle, calyx, stem) and judges the flattening and the position of the calyx without any dashes. Checking each copy against the model trains careful comparison, and the tiny calyx points test fine control right after the big round movement.
Play idea
Turn the row into a harvest count: your child writes a number under each tomato and circles the ones whose calyx has as many points as the model's.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why draw the calyx after the circle?
The calyx sits on the top edge of the tomato, so that edge has to exist first; drawn in this order, the points land on the circle instead of floating above it.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — the tomato is a simple round shape, so six rows of it from a single model are a relaxed check of closing circles and adding small points on top.
How long does this worksheet take?
Most children finish the six rows of tomatoes in about 10 minutes; if the calyx points get rushed near the end, a short break works better than pushing on.
