How to use this worksheet
- Look at the solid square first: the dot marks its top left corner, and the first side runs across the top.
- Go down the right side, back along the bottom line and up to the start.
- Leave a small gap, then start the next square at its top left corner.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing a square without dashes needs a plan: four equal sides, four corners and a fixed order of moves. Starting at the top left and going across first follows the left-to-right direction of writing. At 4–5, keeping squares the same size along a whole row without a guide builds the visual judgment later needed to keep letters even.
Play idea
Picture gallery: draw a tiny picture inside one square in each row, a sun, a ball, a flower, and turn the row into a little gallery.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Should the squares touch?
No, each stands alone on the bottom line with a small gap before the next.
How big should my child's squares be?
As tall as the space between the lines, like the model, and about as wide as they are tall.
My child draws the sides in a random order. Is that a problem?
The fixed order, across, down, back, up, helps the corners meet neatly, so gently encourage it.
