How to use this worksheet
- Show the parts of the solid walnut first: the round shell, the gently wavy line down its middle and the two short curved wrinkles on the sides.
- Trace the shell from the top dot back to the top, then the middle line from top to bottom, then the two side wrinkles; there is room in the large rows, so take each walnut slowly.
What this worksheet teaches
A big round shape followed by a line inside it teaches a young child to start and stop exactly on the edge. The middle line bends gently like a stretched letter S, so the hand learns to keep a soft curve going from top to bottom.
Play idea
Winter store: your child draws a tree hollow at the end of each row and a line from every traced walnut to it, counting the nuts the squirrel has saved.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where does the middle line start and end?
At the top of the shell, right at the start dot, and it ends at the bottom edge; it bends gently once, like a stretched S, rather than zigzagging.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the large walnuts are dashed along the whole row, so the child traces a round shell and the line inside it without guessing where it goes.
Do the side wrinkles touch the shell?
No, they float inside, one on each side of the middle line; they are short curves, so your child can trace each one in a single quick stroke.
