Stars
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the top tip of the star and follow the outline round: out to each point, in to each inner corner, ten straight lines in all.
- Trace the dashed star next to the model, then draw your own stars along the row, lifting the pencil between them.
- Keep the lower tips on the bottom guide line and the top tip touching the upper line.
What this worksheet teaches
An outlined star is a sequence of ten short straight strokes with a sharp turn after each one, so it trains diagonal lines and deliberate stops together. Without dashes, the child must also plan the order of the tips and space them evenly, which is a real planning task at 5–6. Diagonals are generally among the last basic strokes children master, and the large size here gives room to get the angles right before they appear in letters like v, w and k.
Play idea
Wishing stars: after each row, your child chooses one star and makes a wish about something they would like to learn to draw next. Write the wish under the row for them.
