About this worksheet
2D shape worksheets for preschool to 2nd grade: name twelve common shapes with a word bank, count sides and corners, trace shapes with dashed outlines, and continue shape patterns. Shapes include the circle, oval, square, rectangle, triangle, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, trapezoid, star and heart.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Go on a shape hunt: find a circle, a rectangle and a triangle in the room.
- A corner (vertex) is where two sides meet: a shape has the same number of sides and corners.
- For patterns, say the pattern aloud ('circle, square, circle, square') and listen for what comes next.
- Trace with a finger first, then a crayon, then a pencil.
