How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the top point of the first star. Go down to the right into the inner corner, then out to the right point.
- Keep going around the star clockwise, in and out, until you are back at the top point: ten lines and no lines crossing inside.
- Lift the pencil and start the next star at its top point. A row holds 10 to 12 stars.
What this worksheet teaches
A star outline has ten changes of direction in one small shape. The hand has to stop at every outer point and every inner corner, and the eyes have to judge where the next point belongs. Drawing it from the model adds memory: your child keeps the in-and-out order in mind for eight to ten stars per row. Stars that come out with uneven points show exactly which corner needs a slower turn.
Play idea
Make a night sky: when a row is done, your child chooses the neatest star, gives it a name and draws a small moon next to it.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Is this the star drawn with five crossing lines?
No. Here the star is only its outline: ten short lines around the edge, with nothing crossing inside.
My child's points are all different sizes. What helps?
Say "out, in, out, in" and stop fully at every corner; the solid model shows how far out each point goes.
What if six rows are too much?
Two or three rows a day are plenty. Stars take concentration, so short sessions work better.
