How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the top-left corner. Go across the top to the right, straight down, back across the bottom and up to the start.
- Stop at every corner — four stops for every square.
- Keep the other hand flat on the paper; squares tilt when the sheet moves.
- Lift the crayon after each square and begin the next one at its top-left corner.
What this worksheet teaches
Squares combine two straight directions and four right-angle corners, which makes them harder than circles. Children usually copy a square without help at about 4 to 5, so tracing it at 3–4 is good preparation. Starting at the top left and going round in the same order every time builds a routine, and stopping at each corner trains the control needed for letters with sharp corners such as E, L and T. The large rows, about 2.4 cm tall, keep each side long and easy to follow.
Play idea
Go on a square hunt around the home: tiles, windows, crackers, napkins, picture frames. For every square found, your child traces one square on the sheet.
