Welcome to our shapes worksheets collection, a growing library of free printable shape pages for preschool and kindergarten. Every set here is built around tracing, the first step to drawing shapes with confidence. Children follow dashed outlines again and again until circles, squares and stars feel easy.

Shapes Worksheets, Set by Set
The Shape Tracing Worksheets set mixes tracing with colouring. Every page starts with one big smiling shape to trace and colour, then adds smaller dashed shapes for more practice. With eighteen shapes, including teardrops and crosses, it is a gentle first set for younger preschool children.
The Trace the Shapes Worksheets set is pure tracing. Twenty pages each carry twelve dashed shapes in neat rows, with space for a name and grade at the top. It adds shapes the first set does not have, like stars, octagons and quarter circles, and suits children who are ready for more repetition and control.
How to Use These Shapes Worksheets
Start with the round shapes, circles and ovals, because the pencil never has to stop and turn. Then move to squares and triangles, where corners teach children to pause, turn and continue. Talk about the shape while they trace, its name, its sides and where they see it around the room.
Print a page as often as a child wants to repeat it. Tracing the same shape many times builds the steady hand that drawing and letter writing need, and short daily practice works better than one long session.
Shapes Worksheets FAQs
Are these shapes worksheets free?
Yes. Every shapes worksheet on Bunny Worksheets is free to print and download, for home and classroom use, with no sign up.
What ages are shapes worksheets for?
These sets are made for preschool and kindergarten children, roughly ages three to six. Younger children can start with circles and squares, and older children can try stars, trapezoids and quarter circles.
What is the difference between the two sets?
The Shape Tracing Worksheets mix tracing with colouring on every page, while the Trace the Shapes Worksheets are tracing only, with twelve dashed shapes to trace on every page.
Which shapes are covered?
Across the two sets, children can trace circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, ovals, diamonds, stars, hearts, pentagons, hexagons, octagons, crescents, semicircles, trapezoids, parallelograms, rhombuses, kites, crosses, arrows, teardrops and quarter circles.
How do shape tracing worksheets help my child?
Tracing dashed shapes builds shape recognition, fine motor control and pencil grip. The curves, corners and straight lines children practise in shapes are the same movements they will use to form letters.
