How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot in the top-left corner of the first, solid square and go across the top first, then down the right side.
- Come back along the bottom and up the left side to close the square at the dot.
- Trace the dashed squares, then keep drawing squares of the same size in the empty band; seven or eight fill a row.
What this worksheet teaches
A square has four equal straight sides and four sharp corners, and closing it neatly means stopping at each corner and turning. Copying a square is usually expected around four and a half to five, so for 3–4 year olds the dashed squares teach the order of the sides, across, down, back, up, before the free half invites a first try. Squares drawn at this age often have rounded corners or uneven sides, and that is completely normal.
Variation to try
Gift boxes: after drawing, your child turns each square into a present with a ribbon cross and a bow on top, or into a window with four panes. Ask which square looks the most "square" and why.
