Last Updated:
Practice identifying and tracing a parallelogram with this free Pumpkin Parallelogram Tracing Worksheet. The printable features pumpkin-themed parallelograms in different sizes, giving children a fun way to practice shape recognition and pencil control.
Learn About Parallelograms
A parallelogram is a four-sided shape with two pairs of parallel sides. Its opposite sides run in the same direction and do not cross. Parallelograms can be tall, short, narrow, or wide, but they always have four sides and four corners.
Children can practice noticing the slanted sides of the parallelograms while tracing the dashed outlines. Looking at shapes in different sizes can also help children understand that a shape can change in size without changing its basic characteristics.
Extend the Learning
Count the Sides and Corners
Choose one of the parallelograms and count its sides and corners. How many does every parallelogram have?
Compare the Shapes
Compare a parallelogram with a square or rectangle. What looks similar? Which sides are slanted?
Make a Parallelogram
After tracing the worksheet, use play dough, craft sticks, or strips of paper to make your own parallelogram. Try making one that is tall and another that is wide.
