Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a drawing activity that focuses on the concepts of ‘near’ and ‘far’. It features three pairs of art-related items: two pencils, two crayons, and two paintbrushes, with dashed lines between them. Each pair of items comes with an instruction for the student to draw a line to either keep one pencil ‘far from’ the other, keep the crayon ‘near’ the other crayon, or keep one paintbrush ‘far from’ the other. The space at the top of the worksheet is for students to write their name, personalizing the activity.

The worksheet teaches students the spatial concepts of ‘near’ and ‘far’ by having them actively engage in drawing lines that represent these distances. Through this exercise, they learn to associate the physical space they create on the page with the abstract concepts of proximity and distance. The varying instructions for each pair of items ensure that the child understands both concepts and can distinguish between them. This activity is ideal for developing a young learner’s understanding of spatial relationships and their ability to follow directions.
