Stars Tracing Worksheet — Medium Patterns, Draw from the Model, 7 Rows, Ages 6–8
A star outline is one of the harder shapes to copy, and this sheet gives 6–8-year-olds seven medium rows to try it, with just one model and one dashed star per row.

How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the top point of the model star and follow its outline clockwise: down to the inner corner, out to the next point, and so on, ten short lines in all.
- Trace the dashed star next to it in the same order.
- Then draw your own stars along the row, each standing on the bottom line with its top point reaching the upper line; eleven to thirteen fit in each row.
What this worksheet teaches
Each star is ten straight lines that change direction at every corner: out to a point, back in to a corner, out again. Copying that sequence teaches your child to plan strokes, keep count and stop precisely before turning, the same control needed for letters with sharp angles such as M, N, W and Z. Drawing from the model means rebuilding the pattern for every star, which also trains visual memory.
Play idea
Make a night sky: when the page is done, pick the neatest star in each row and give it a yellow center. Then count together how many stars your child drew without dashes.
