Tracing shapes builds the same pencil control children need for letters, and it teaches the names of the shapes they see every day. Each shape starts at a green dot, so children always know where to begin.
What’s inside
- 10 shape pages: circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval, star, heart, diamond, pentagon and hexagon
- A big dotted shape with a start dot and an arrow showing the direction
- A real-life example with a 3D picture: the sun is a circle, a gift box is a square, a kite is a diamond, bees build hexagons
- The shape name to trace
- Two rows of small shapes to trace and a box to draw your own
- A shape review page: trace all 10 shapes and color each one in its color
Who it is for
Made for toddlers who are ready to hold a crayon, preschool and kindergarten, about ages 3 to 6. Print at 100% on US Letter paper (A4 works with “Fit to page”). The pictures are in color, the tracing lines are gray dots, so the pages also look good on a black and white printer.
