About this worksheet
This page shows one friendly pencil, tilted slightly to the side, with a pointed tip at the top and a rounded eraser at the bottom. It has a face: two round eyes under raised eyebrows and a wide open smile with teeth showing. One arm waves up near its head with the hand fully open, fingers spread, while the other arm hangs down at its side. A wavy zigzag line separates the sharpened tip from the wooden body, and two ring lines mark the metal band just above the eraser.
The pencil body is split into a few large panels by straight vertical lines, so most of the page is wide open space that a child can fill in one steady sweep without worrying about staying inside tiny lines. The face is the one part that asks for more care, since the eyes, eyebrows and mouth are small and close together. It is a good page for talking about the parts of a pencil they use every day, and for deciding whether the pencil should be yellow like the ones in their pencil case or any colour they fancy.
Because the shapes are big and few, this sheet sits on the easier end of the scale. It suits a child who is just getting comfortable holding a crayon, and it also works as a quick, low pressure page for an older sibling who wants something finished in a few minutes.
How to use this sheet
Let your child start with the big body panels first, since those are the easiest wins, and save the small face for last when their hand is warmed up. If the eyes go outside the lines, no need to redo them, just move on.
