How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the top point of the star and go down and to the right, then out to the next point.
- Keep changing direction at every corner, in and out, until you are back at the top.
- Lift the pencil between stars; the first star in each row is solid, the rest are dashed.
What this worksheet teaches
A star outline has ten corners, and at each one the hand has to stop and turn in a new direction, excellent practice for short, precise straight lines. Unlike a five-line star drawn in one go, this outline has no lines crossing inside, so the child simply follows its edge. At medium size the strokes are short, so the movement comes from the fingers, and about ten stars per row make the corner-by-corner rhythm familiar.
Play idea
Night sky: after tracing, color the gaps between the rows dark blue with a crayon, keeping the stars white, and choose one wishing star in each row to color yellow.
