Squares
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot in the top-left corner: go across to the right, straight down, back along the bottom and up to the start.
- Trace the four or five dashed squares in the row, lifting the pencil between squares so each one is a separate box.
- In the free half, draw squares standing on the bottom guide line with small, equal gaps between them.
What this worksheet teaches
A square needs four straight sides of the same length and four sharp corners, so the hand learns to stop, turn by a right angle and keep lengths equal. Children often copy a square successfully between about four and a half and five, and at 5–6 this card turns that skill into a steady, repeatable routine. Horizontal and vertical strokes with clean corners reappear in the capitals E, F, H, L and T, and the habit of closing a shape exactly at its start helps with every closed letter and numeral.
Play idea
Train windows: each square is a window of a long train. Your child draws a tiny passenger face in each free square and counts the travelers.
