Stars
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the top point, go down to the right, then round all five points with ten short straight lines back to the top.
- Stop briefly at every point and every inner corner.
- Lift the pencil after each star; the next one also starts at its top point.
- If a star gets confusing, trace the model with a finger again.
What this worksheet teaches
A star has ten lines and ten corners, more changes of direction than any other shape in this series. That makes it excellent practice for stopping, planning and turning, skills needed for letters such as A, K, M, N, V, W and Z. The smaller stars on medium rows, about 1.8 cm tall, demand finer control than the large star sheet for younger children.
Play idea
Draw stars with white chalk on black paper to make a night sky, then trace one row on the sheet and count the stars together.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How many lines does each star have?
Ten short straight lines, going round five outer points and five inner corners.
My child's stars are uneven. Is that okay?
Yes. Stars are hard; at 4–5, recognizable stars with sharp points are a good result.
What is the difference from the large stars sheet?
Smaller stars and five rows instead of four, so there are more stars and more precision is needed.
