How to use this worksheet
- Put the pencil on the dark dot at the top-left corner: go across the top first, then down the right side, back along the bottom line and up to close.
- Trace the solid square and the three dashed ones after it, then draw the remaining three or four squares yourself.
- Leave a gap between squares about as wide as the gaps in the traced part.
What this worksheet teaches
Copying a square is a classic readiness milestone, often reached around age 5, because it needs four straight lines and four right-angle corners placed in order. Starting at the top left and going across first follows the same left-to-right, top-to-bottom habit used in reading and writing. The large size keeps the movement easy to see, while the unguided half checks whether your child can keep all four sides equal and the corners closed without dashes.
Play idea
Window street: turn every square your child drew alone into a window. Add a cross for the frame, a curtain or a face peeking out, and count how many windows the street has.
