Stars
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the top point and follow the dashes around the star to the right, point after point, back to the top.
- Lift the crayon between stars; after the dashed stars, your child can try a star in the empty space, even a wobbly one.
- If drawing stars alone is too hard, simply trace the dashed ones again with a new crayon.
What this worksheet teaches
Star outlines are made of straight strokes with frequent changes of direction, which teaches a young child to stop, turn and go on. At 3–4 this is a challenge, and most children cannot yet copy a star on their own, so the dashed stars do the planning while the child practices controlled strokes and stopping at the points. The half-empty rows add a playful first attempt at copying, without any pressure for perfect results.
Play idea
Night sky: after tracing, your child turns the page into a night sky by adding small dots around the stars, then counts the stars in each row with you.
