How to use this worksheet

  • Start on the dark dot at the top point and go down to the right, then out to the next point, following the outline round.
  • Stop at every corner, then change direction; finish back at the top point.
  • In the free half, make each star the size of the dashed ones and leave the same gap between them.

What this worksheet teaches

A star outline has ten corners, alternating between outer points and inner corners, so it trains stopping exactly and turning sharply many times within one shape. The lines never cross inside, which makes it a good exercise in following an outline rather than cutting across it. For a 5–6 year old, continuing the stars without dashes adds planning: where the next point goes and how big the star should be.

Play idea

Night sky: after each row, your child picks the brightest star, the one closest to the model, and puts a small dot next to it. At the end they count the bright stars in the free halves.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Is the star drawn with five crossing lines?
No. On this sheet the star is an outline of ten short lines with nothing crossing inside, drawn from the top point round and back.
My child's stars have rounded points. What helps?
A tiny pause at every point and every inner corner. Saying 'stop, turn' at each corner keeps them sharp.
Why does the dashed guide stop halfway?
The half-tracing level lets your child copy the stars alone in the second half after tracing the first half.
