How to use this worksheet
- At the dark dot in the top-left corner, go across the top, down the right side, back along the bottom and up the left side to close the square.
- Trace the dashed squares with a short lift of the pencil between them.
- Then draw squares on your own in the empty band, with the same size and spacing; six to eight squares make a row.
What this worksheet teaches
Copying a square is a classic readiness milestone, usually expected around four and a half to five. The half-dashed rows give 4–5 year olds a few traced squares to feel the order of the sides and the four stops at the corners, and then ask them to reproduce that sequence alone. Straight lines, sharp right angles and closing a shape exactly are the same controls used in capital letters like E, H, L and T.
Variation to try
Our street: turn the squares into houses by adding a triangle roof to each, or into windows with a cross inside. Your child can number the houses along the street and say who lives in each.
