Kites and Apples

Worksheet Description

This worksheet depicts a scenic drawing featuring a child looking up at a tree set against a background of hills. The task assigned is a drawing exercise where students are prompted to draw a kite up on the tree and an apple down the tree. This encourages the students to think about the placement of objects in relation to one another within a given space. The instructions are clear, providing a creative opportunity to practice the understanding of spatial concepts by adding elements to the scene.

The worksheet is designed to teach students about the spatial concepts of “up” and “down” through the interactive activity of drawing. By having to place a kite in the upper branches and an apple lower on the tree, students can visualize and understand the relative positions of objects. This activity also taps into the students’ creativity and enhances their ability to follow directions. Furthermore, it provides an engaging way to practice fine motor skills associated with drawing and to reinforce vocabulary related to spatial orientation.
