How to use this worksheet
- Find the big dot 1 at the very top point of the star and put the crayon on it.
- Follow the dashed line in to dot 2, then out to 3 on the right-hand point; the line keeps going in and out like this all the way round.
- After dot 10, draw one last line back up to 1 so the star is closed.
What this worksheet teaches
Most strokes on this star are slanted lines, and the direction switches at every dot: in toward the middle, out to a point, in again. Slanted lines are among the last strokes young children learn to copy, usually around four and a half to five, so following them over a dashed guide at three or four is gentle early practice. Reading 1 to 10 in order while stopping on each dot links counting with pencil control.
Play idea
When the star is closed, tap its five points together and read their numbers: 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Every odd number sits on a tip, every even number on an inner corner. Then color the star yellow and hang it where everyone can see it.
