Arrow Shape Worksheet for Kids
An arrow is a shape with a pointed tip and a straight tail, and it always shows us which way to go. Children love arrows because they are full of movement and meaning — this way, that way, up, down!
Tracing an arrow helps children aged 3 to 7 practise both straight lines and the sharp point at the tip, building careful pencil control.
Arrows are everywhere once you notice them — on signboards, clocks, weather vanes and computer screens. Following arrows together is a fun way to talk about direction, left and right.
Free for home and classroom use. The preview shows a sample of the printable worksheet.
