How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the dot at the bottom corner, go up to the tip, down the other side and back along the bottom line.
  • Trace the dashed triangles one after another; they touch at their bottom corners.
  • On the empty half, let your child try their own triangles: a pointy top is the main thing.

What this worksheet teaches

Triangles combine two slanted lines and a straight base with sharp corners. Most children copy a triangle on their own only around age 5, so at 3–4 the dashed half does the planning while the child practices diagonal strokes and stopping at each corner. The free half is a playful first attempt; even an uneven triangle shows that the child is starting to understand how shapes are built from lines.

Play idea

Party hats: after each row, your child adds a pompom dot on top of every triangle and counts the hats. The best hat in the row gets a zigzag stripe.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Is it normal if the free triangles look like bumps or mountains?
Yes. At 3–4 corners are still hard; tracing the dashed ones again builds the movement.
Where should each triangle start?
At the bottom left corner, marked by the dot: up to the tip, down, and back along the base.
When will my child draw triangles without help?
Usually around age 5; tracing now makes that step easier.
