Free Fine Motor Fun With Space Shape Tracing

Shapes are one of the fun activities to work on. I love that there are so many great shape ideas. A few years ago we did star themed shape playdough mats and loved them. I wanted to add something more to it.

So I made these fun free space shape tracing printables to work on more shapes with a space theme.

It is always fun to change things up but having them also be a fun activity everyone has already loved.

We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission.

This is a great addition to the shape printables and space printables on the site.

What are 2D Shape Tracing Worksheets?

The space theme shape tracing worksheets have the following shapes to trace: circle, square, rectangle, oval, triangle, diamond, rhombus, star, heart, and crescent.

Each of the star themed shape printable has a shape to trace with stars around it. It is like each shape is a shape constellation that kids can trace.

How we used these Space Themed Shape Tracing Printables

You are going to see a few ways that we have used the space shape tracing printables.

Trce & Color Space Shape Tracing Printables

The most basic way to use the space shape tracing printable is to color the stars yellow and trace them with black. I love this because you are making a shape themed constellation.

Kids can color and trace the shapes with their favorite colors. It is fun to see what colors they pick. You could use crayons or markers for this.

Hand-on Activity with the Space Shape Tracing Printables

You can use the space shape tracing printable as learning mats you can. We love using erasers to color the shapes. We had some rocket ships that we picked up at target. But you can use any erasers. I recommend laminating the mat if you plan on using it this way.

Reusing the Space Shape Tracing Printables

If you want to reuse the space shape tracing worksheets you can put them in a sheet protector and trace them with a dry erase marker. I have stored many pages like this and left them for my girls to use when they were younger.
