How to use this worksheet
- Study the model can before drawing: a rectangular tank, an arched handle over it and a long spout of two parallel lines ending in a sprinkler head.
- One solid can and one dashed can open each row; for all the other cans your child starts with the tank and adds the spout and handle without any dashes.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing from the model, your child plans the order — tank, spout, sprinkler, handle — and checks each can: are the spout lines parallel and does the handle arch over the top?
Play idea
After the sheet, your child waters a houseplant with a real can and points out the tank, spout and handle, just like on the model.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What makes the spout hard to copy?
It is two long lines that must stay parallel and slant the same way; drawing the upper line first and the lower one next to it keeps them even.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6: with a guide on just one can per row, the child must hold the rectangle, the slanted spout and the arched handle in mind, a real test of planning a shape.
How long does this worksheet take?
Around 15 minutes for the six rows of cans; if the tanks start to lean or the spouts shrink, stop halfway and do the remaining rows after a break.
