How to use this worksheet
- Show your child the big round whale with its head on the left, the two-pointed tail on the right, the fountain of water above its head and the little eye and smile.
- On the model whale the dark dot is at the head on the left: your child follows the rounded back to the tail, around the tail's points and back along the belly, then adds the spout, eye and smile; four large rows hold 28 whales, so rest after each row.
What this worksheet teaches
Tracing the whale takes the hand from one long smooth curve over the back to the sharp points of the tail and back into a curve, a first practice in changing movement.
Play idea
Make a big splash sound and wiggle your fingers upward like the spout every time your child finishes a whale.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How do you draw the water spout?
As two curves springing from one point on top of the head, one bending left and one bending right, like water from a fountain.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the large dashed whales mix one long smooth curve with the sharp points of the tail, so children practice changing from gentle to sharp movements with the dashes still there to help.
What if my child veers off the dashes at the tail points?
Trace the model whale together, hand over hand, and pause at each point of the tail; if the smile and eye slip off the dashes, leave them for the end of the row.
