Circles
How to use this worksheet
- Each circle begins at the dot on its left side. Go down first and round: bottom, right side, top and back to the dot — counterclockwise.
- Finish each circle before starting the next; your child may lift the crayon between circles.
- If a circle does not close, show how the end has to meet the start, like a door clicking shut.
- Two rows are plenty for one sitting at this age.
What this worksheet teaches
Copying a closed circle is one of the first shape milestones — many children manage it around age 3 — and it is the basis of letters such as o, a, d, g and q. The direction matters: counterclockwise is the way these letters are written, and a habit formed now is easier than one corrected later. Large circles, in rows about 2.4 cm tall, let the child move from the shoulder and elbow, which is natural at this age, while the two guide lines give the circle a size limit.
Play idea
Put a cup on scrap paper and let your child draw around it, then lift it to reveal the circle. Then trace the first row: are the circles as round as the cup one?
