How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the top point and go around the outline to the right: out to a point, in to a corner, out again, ten strokes in total.
- Come back to the top point to close the star, then lift the pencil and move on to the next one.
- On the blank part, keep all stars the same height between the guide lines and the same distance apart.
What this worksheet teaches
A star outline is a sequence of straight strokes with sharp changes of direction, so the child must stop at every point, turn and aim for the next one. At 6–8, copying stars without dashes also trains symmetry and proportion, because a star with one long arm immediately looks wrong, and noticing that is the same self-checking children need for letter shapes.
Variation to try
Star rating: when the page is done, your child picks the best star in each row and gives it a tiny dot in the middle. Compare the five chosen stars and ask what makes them better: sharper points, straighter lines or more even arms.
