Big Oak Tree Tracing Worksheet
The treetop on this oak is one long scalloped line, with a rounded bump after every short stretch and a dip between bumps that is worth a pause. Inside it, three wavy leafy curls are dashed too, and so are the trunk’s oval hole, its knot and two bark lines. The trunk runs down into two roots on a straight ground line. An acorn with a cap and a curly stem stands on each side. An orange dot starts each line.
Easy: one big oak
One big oak fills the easy page, sized for ages 3 to 5, and the treetop is its longest line. The ground line goes in one long stroke from one orange dot to the other. Each acorn starts at its own dot, cap first.
Medium: a large oak and three small ones
A row of three small oaks sits below a large oak on the medium page for ages 6 to 8, each with its own tiny acorns. Their dashes bunch together if the A4 or US Letter file is shrunk. Keep this page at 100 percent. The last space in the row is a box headed Now you, kept blank for a child’s own tree.
Skills practiced & tips
- Trace the treetop slowly, pausing at each dip between the bumps.
- Follow the ground line in one long stroke from one orange dot to the other.
- Start each acorn at its orange dot and do the cap before the nut.
- Use a crayon on the big tree and a sharp pencil on the small ones.
- Stop after the big tree if little hands get tired, and come back later.
Tree fun facts
- The leaves of many oaks have rounded lobes along their edges.
- An acorn has to reach the soil to sprout, so animals that bury acorns help new oaks grow.
Classroom ideas
- Preschool (ages 3 to 5): trace the easy tree with a finger first, saying bump, bump, bump around the treetop.
- Kindergarten: trace the big oak early in the week and the three small ones a few days later.
- Grade 1: after tracing, children draw their own tree in the Now you box and label each part.

Frequently asked questions
How are the two oak tracing sheets different?
The easy one, for ages 3 to 5, has a single large tree. The medium one, for ages 6 to 8, has a large tree at the top, three small trees below and a Now you box for drawing freehand.
Where should my child begin?
At any orange dot. Each dot marks the start of one line, and the dashes show the way from there.
What does the Now you box ask for?
A tree drawn freehand, with no dashes. In grade 1, children can draw their own tree there and label each part.
