Free Shapes Tracing Books
Our shapes colouring pages for toddlers are friendly, smiling shapes that a two- or three-year-old can trace with a crayon and then colour in. The book is a free printable PDF, with one big shape per page and plenty of white space.
Shapes are everywhere in a child's day: a round plate, a square window, a star on a night-light, a heart on a card. Tracing one big shape and then spotting it in the room is a simple, playful way to start talking about them. You say the name, your child traces and colours, and together you go looking.
The book:
- Smiley Shapes: 19 pages of smiling circle, star, square, heart and crescent moon shapes, in dotted or dashed outlines to trace, then colour.
It shows "Age 2–4" on the cover. Each page has Name and Date lines, and a "Super Star Learner!" certificate comes at the end. Print the A4 PDF (or US Letter in the US and Canada) at 100% scale, in colour or black and white.
Tips: start with the circle pages, say each shape's name out loud (the names are not printed), and keep it to a page or two. Praise the trying rather than perfect lines. For a triangle and a hexagon, see the six-shape page in Pencil Practice on our tracing page.
