Squares
How to use this worksheet
- Put the pencil on the dark dot at the top-left corner, go across the top first, then down, back along the bottom line and up to where you started.
- Count the sides aloud, "one, two, three, four", while tracing the dashed square, and keep counting for every free square.
- Each square stands on the bottom line and reaches the top line, with a small gap before the next one.
What this worksheet teaches
A square looks simple, but it asks for four stops, four turns and equal sides, and the last side has to close the shape exactly at the start. Counting the sides links the drawing to shape knowledge: a square has four equal sides and four corners, which is part of early geometry in kindergarten. Drawing from a model also trains the child to check proportions by eye, a skill used later for letter size and spacing.
Variation to try
Dice row: in the last row your child adds dots to the free squares to make dice faces from one to six, then rolls a real die and points to the matching square.
