How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the top point of the first star, the solid one, and go down and to the right to the first inner corner.
- Continue out to the next point and in again, around the star to the right, until you are back at the top: ten short lines.
- Lift the pencil and trace the next star; the stars stand on the bottom line with their top points near the upper one.
What this worksheet teaches
Smaller stars mean shorter lines and quicker changes of direction, which moves the work from the arm to the fingers. Each star is a closed outline of ten straight strokes, so the child has to stop precisely at every corner and aim for the next one. Tracing about forty-five stars on one page builds accuracy and patience, and the sharp turns prepare for letters such as k, v, w, x and z.
Variation to try
Gold star: after tracing, your child colors the neatest star in each row gold or yellow. Then play "find the star": you call a row and a number, and they point to that star as fast as they can.
