About this worksheet
A free printable shapes worksheet that links shapes to the real world: a clock is a circle, a little flag is a triangle, a toy block is a square, a book is a rectangle, an egg is an oval, a kite is a diamond and a starfish is a star. Kids draw a line from each everyday object to its shape. Answer key on page 2. It suits ages 4 to 6, and little ones can count the pictures with a finger.
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.
