How to use this worksheet

  • Trace the solid model square first, starting at the dot in its top-left corner and moving right along the top.
  • Continue with the three dashed squares, going around in the same order every time: across, down, back, up.
  • Finish each row with your own squares, standing on the bottom line and reaching the top line like the traced ones. The last row is shorter because of the mascot.

What this worksheet teaches

A square asks the hand to repeat one straight movement in four different directions, and the eye to check that each side matches the others. When the dashes stop, your child has to hold the size in memory and stay between the two guide lines, the same skill used later to keep letters the same height. Children often rush the last side; closing the shape exactly at the starting corner trains precision and patience, both useful for letters such as D, B and P, whose strokes must meet neatly.

Variation to try

Gift boxes: add a ribbon cross and a bow to each square your child drew alone, then decide together who in the family gets each present.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Why does my child lift the pencil at each corner?
Many children do at first. A short pause without lifting is the goal; practice it on the traced squares.
The squares after the dashes get smaller. Why?
Without a guide, children tend to shrink shapes to feel more in control. Point to the two guide lines and remind them that each square touches both.
What comes after this sheet?
Medium squares with half tracing, then sheets where only one model and one dashed square are printed.
