Stars
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the top point of the star and go clockwise around the outline: down to the inner corner, out to the next point, and so on.
- The outline has ten straight strokes – five points out and five corners in – drawn in one go without lifting the pencil.
- For the freehand stars, go slowly and count the points aloud so none is missed.
What this worksheet teaches
A star outline is a sequence of short straight lines with ten changes of direction, many of them on a slant. It trains precise stopping, turning and aiming at the next corner, and it asks for planning: the child has to know where the shape will close. Diagonal strokes like these are still hard at 4–5, so tracing the first stars before drawing the others is a good balance. Large stars give young hands enough room, and the lower guide line shows each star where to stand.
Play idea
Play "night sky": your child points to the brightest star, the smallest star and the one that came out best, and draws a moon at the end of the last row.
