Shapes worksheets for kindergarten

Trace the shape, trace its name, count its sides

Make a shapes worksheet. Your child traces each shape on a dashed line and then traces its name in dotted letters. On the sides and corners page each shape is counted and the numbers are written in boxes. On the find and count page twenty shapes are mixed together to find, count and write down. The solid shapes are here too: cube, sphere, cone and cylinder, with a page that mixes flat and solid shapes.

How to make your worksheet

  1. Choose the kind of page.
  2. Choose the first four shapes, four more, all eight, or the four solid shapes.
  3. Print.
  4. Press “New version” to mix the find and count page again.

Sides and corners

A side is counted when it is straight. So a triangle has 3 sides and 3 corners, a square and a rectangle have 4 and 4, and a circle and an oval have none. The harder set adds a pentagon with 5 and a hexagon with 6.

Flat and solid

A flat shape, such as a circle, lies on the paper. A solid shape, such as a ball, is one you could hold. For the solid shapes the page asks for flat faces: a cube has 6, a cylinder has 2, a cone has 1 and a sphere has none.

Shape names are words too

Tracing the name under the shape ties the word your child says to the letters that spell it.

Good questions

Which shapes are there?

Circle, square, triangle and rectangle first. Then oval, diamond, star and heart. The sides and corners page uses a pentagon and a hexagon in place of the star and the heart. The solid shapes are cube, sphere, cone and cylinder.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. Turn on “Answer key page”.

Can I print in black and white?

Yes. Choose “Black and white” under “Print in”. The page uses very little ink.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
