Shape Tracing Worksheet Pack – EYFS / KS1 Fine Motor & 2D Shape Recognition

This Shape Tracing Worksheet Pack provides structured fine motor practice while helping children recognise and name common 2D shapes. Each worksheet focuses on a single shape, giving learners repeated opportunities to trace dotted outlines, build pencil control and gain confidence with shape identification.

The pack includes four separate tracing sheets:

Circle Tracing Worksheet
The circle sheet features multiple dotted circles for children to trace, with the instruction “Trace all the circle” clearly shown at the top. Its simple layout supports independent work and early fine motor development.

Square Tracing Worksheet
Pupils trace multiple squares, reinforcing awareness of straight sides, corners and equal-length edges. The repeated tracing format helps children practise controlled hand movements and shape formation.

Rectangle Tracing Worksheet
Learners trace rectangles of equal orientation, supporting recognition of long and short sides while developing accurate pencil strokes. This sheet builds confidence in distinguishing rectangles from squares.

Triangle Tracing Worksheet
The triangle sheet features dotted triangles arranged in rows, with a friendly illustrated triangle character in the corner to keep the activity engaging. Children are encouraged to “Trace all the triangles.” The cheerful design appeals especially to EYFS pupils.

Why This Pack Works Well
These worksheets are ideal for Nursery, Reception (EYFS) and Year 1 children beginning to explore 2D shapes and refine early handwriting skills. The clear dotted lines, repeated tracing opportunities and uncluttered layouts make the pack especially suitable for SEND and EAL learners who benefit from visual clarity and predictable structure.

Teachers can use this pack for:
• Fine motor rotations
• Shape recognition lessons
• Morning work
• Early finisher tasks
• Intervention groups
• Home-learning packs

Each sheet prints cleanly and can also be used digitally on iPads or platforms like Showbie.
