How to use this worksheet
- Show your child the parts of the flashlight: the long handle you hold, the wide end at the bottom where the light comes out, and the little button near the top.
- The dark dot is on the top left corner of the handle: trace across, down the long side, out to the wide head and back, then add the short button line.
What this worksheet teaches
The long sides of the handle are big top-to-bottom strokes, and the dashes keep them straight for a hand that is still learning to steer. At the bottom the lines turn outward to make the wide end — a first, very gentle change of direction. For a three-year-old, following one closed outline all the way back to the dot is already a real achievement.
Play idea
Dim the room and let your child hold a real flashlight: shine it on a teddy bear, then on the worksheet, and name whatever the light lands on.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does the flashlight get wider at the bottom?
That is where the light comes out; for the hand it means the two straight sides bend outward and one short line across closes the shape.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 3–4 — the large flashlights are dashed all the way and made mostly of straight lines with one flare, a gentle start for very young hands.
What if my child's line slips at the bottom of the handle?
Trace the first flashlight hand over hand and pause where the handle meets the wider head; that turn is where the line usually slips.
