How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the top left corner, go right along the top, down the right side, back along the bottom line and up to close.
- Lift the pencil after each square and leave the same small gap before the next one.
- Once the dashes stop, keep drawing squares of the same size; all four sides should be equally long.
What this worksheet teaches
Squares train straight lines in two directions and four crisp right-angle corners, plus closing the shape exactly at the starting point. Children typically copy a square around age 4 and a half to 5, so at 6–8 the aim is accuracy: equal sides, sharp corners and consistent size. Half tracing gives a guided warm-up followed by independent practice, and keeping every square between the same two lines mirrors keeping capital letters the same height.
Variation to try
Windows: your child turns every square in one row into a window by adding a cross in the middle, then draws a tiny face in one window. The crosses also reveal whether the squares are really square.
