This square shape worksheet is a great way to introduce young kids to squares!

First, ask the child if they know what the large shape is. Many kids are exposed to shape names just by doing daily things, so they may already know. 

Pretend that you’re unsure what shape is, BUT you do know some things about what makes a square. 

It has to have four straight lines that are the same length, and four corners. Does this shape have four sides and four corners?

Yes! So it must be a square.

Give your child some play dough, and have them make four “ropes that are about the same size. Use them to outline the shape, highlighting that all the sides are the same. Then have them fill in the middle of the shape any way they like.

Get out the do-a-dot markers! 

But first, ask your young children what shape is featured on this free preschool worksheet.

How can you be sure it’s a square though? Count the length of each side with your child, dabbing with the do-a-dot marker as you go.

They will find that this shape has four sides, four corners, and each side is the same length (7 dots).

It must be a square!

This free shapes worksheet shows your child that shapes are all around them!

If your preschool students have the fine motor skills, let them cut out each shape. If they need a little help, that’s no problem.

But make sure they know that it doesn’t need to be cut out perfectly. You just need to have them separated so they can be sorted.

Once you have the shapes cut out, tell your kid to put the appropriate pictures in the correct columns.

Ask them how they knew which ones were squares. Do they know the name of the other shapes?

This worksheet is a fun way to point out that square shapes are all around us!

You can see it in a pair of dice, a wrapped gift, a window, or a napkin.

Have your child do their best to draw a match of each image. This part may be easier for kindergarten kids or first graders. If your younger kid starts get frustraed, have them work on tracing each shape.

Afterwards, ask them if they can find different objects around them that are also squares!

In this shape activity, go through each of the images and discuss where they might find squares in real life.

They should see a window, picture, blanket, and different sizes of puzzles, notepads, and crackers.

Have the child trace the various shapes, and then cut out each one. 

If you have time in your lesson plan, have your student paste these images onto a piece of construction paper. Make it a square collage and add onto it throughout the week. 

This is a fun way to see what your child is grasping when it comes to geometric shapes.

Review what makes a square, and then let them loose to put an X on each square shape. 

Your child might be a little confused with the envelope and chocolate bar – they do have four sides and four corners.

Remind your child that the sides have to be the same length.

This coloring page features several different shapes – even a slice of pizza! 

Give the student a box of crayons and have them color only the square shapes. They should color the calculator, checkerboard, puzzle, present, and dice.

Lastly, have them trace the dotted lines of the shape word. 

If the last worksheet didn’t go very well, here is some extra practice!

Your child should color window, napkin, dice, and block. 

If they colored the ice cream, the picture, or any other incorrect shape, just gently review the features of a square. It will come with time, practice, and review.

This shape tracing worksheet is a very gentle way to introduce drawing squares.

First, have your child color the square. The next step is to trace the dotted lines.

Then have your student connect the dots – and they have made a square!

This simple worksheet will let your kids show off their square shape recognition skills again!

Have your child identify each of the basic shapes, then ask them to color all the squares green. The heart shapes should be colored red, and the circles should be colored blue.
