How to use this worksheet
- Name the whistle's parts with your child: a short line at the left end, a pointed tip, a long boxy body and a small square mouthpiece at the top right.
- Start at the dark dot at the end of the short line on the left, then follow the dashes up the slant, over the body and around the mouthpiece; there are no curves to worry about.
What this worksheet teaches
Tracing the big whistle, a young child learns to stop the pencil at every corner and then set off in a new direction — straight, then slanted, then straight again.
Play idea
Blow a pretend whistle: each time your child reaches a corner, they say "peep!" and pause for a moment before going on.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where have we seen a whistle?
On a coach at the playground or a lifeguard at the pool — ask your child who blows a whistle and why, then trace the next one together.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the whistles are large and traced on dashes all the way, which gives a clear feel for stopping at each corner before turning.
What if the pencil runs past the corners of the whistle?
Trace one whistle together and say “stop” at every corner of the body and the mouthpiece; most slips happen when the hand rushes past a corner.
