About this worksheet
A free printable shapes worksheet for preschool: seven rows, each with a shape to look for and four choices next to it. The matching shape has a different size and color, and the others are look-alikes (circle and oval, square and rectangle, triangle and diamond), so kids look at the shape itself. Answer key on page 2. Little ones can do most of it with crayons, and a grown-up can read the short questions aloud.
Tips for using it
- Count the corners with a finger, touching each one, so none are counted twice.
- A square is a special rectangle: four equal sides and four square corners.
- Turn the page around: a shape is the same shape even when it is rotated.
- Say the pattern out loud in a sing-song voice (circle, square, circle, square) before drawing the next shape.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
