Tracing Shapes Worksheet
Shapes are the secret building blocks of letters: circles become O and Q, lines and corners become E, F and L. Tracing the dashed shapes on this page gives little hands exactly that practice — with a much friendlier name.
My name is: ______________________
Trace around each dashed shape slowly. Name the shape out loud when you finish it.

How to use this worksheet
- Start with the circle and square — the easiest wins build confidence.
- The star is the boss level: lots of corners. Save it for last and cheer loudly.
- After tracing, hunt for the same shapes around the room: a circle clock, a square book.
