How to use this worksheet
- Start on the dark dot at the top point. Go down to the right to the inner corner, out to the next point, and keep going around until you are back at the top.
- The star is an outline: no lines cross inside it.
- In the free part, draw each star in one continuous line, stopping sharply at every corner. The last row has six stars, three of them traced.
What this worksheet teaches
A star outline is one of the most demanding shapes for young hands: ten short strokes, ten direction changes and a path that must close exactly at the start. At five and six the traced stars show the path, and the freehand ones test whether your child can keep the points evenly spaced and the shape balanced. The large size gives enough room to see and correct each corner.
Play idea
Make a night sky: your child adds a moon at the start of row 1 and connects three freehand stars with thin lines to invent a new constellation. Then they give it a name.
