Shape Dog Cut and Paste Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Look at the dotted dog outline together first, pointing out the different shape sections that need to be filled in, like circles for the head or triangles for the ears. Have your child cut out each shape piece carefully along its edges. One at a time, guide them to match a shape to its correct spot on the outline and glue it into place. Once the dog is fully assembled, have your child color it in to finish the picture.
