A quick printing tip

Use portrait orientation and the same paper size in your printer settings. The PDF includes a white margin so the drawing stays inside the sheet.

With an adult

Adult: name the hat and hen. The child is taking a hop on one foot. Find the first h in each word.

Start high and draw down the tall stem. Travel back up, curve over one shoulder and come down to the line.

Whole-word copying is optional. Model one movement and stop whenever a break would help.
