Decorated Christmas Tree Tracing Worksheet
Nothing on this decorated Christmas tree is shaded in ahead of time, so a child builds the whole thing in dashed gray lines, from the star down to the pot. The pencil starts each stroke on an orange dot.
Easy: one large tree
Beginners aged 3 to 5 get one large tree on the easy page. The strokes vary: a star of short straight zigzags, tiers with long slanting sides, gentle garlands and six ornament circles that practice closing a loop. The trunk and pot add short straight lines and a few corners.
Medium: three small trees and a blank box
Three small copies sit below a large dashed tree on the medium page, which is meant for ages 6 to 8. The circles in them are tiny and the turns come quickly, so those dashes stay clear and evenly spaced only at full size, meaning 100 percent on the A4 or Letter file. The Now you box, with no guide at all, comes last.
Skills practiced & tips
- Start every stroke on its orange dot and follow the dashes in one steady line.
- Trace the long slanted sides of the tiers first, then the curved garlands.
- Go around each ornament circle slowly and try to finish where you began.
- A thick crayon works on the easy page; the small trees need a sharp pencil.
- Color the tree when the tracing is done to turn it into a holiday card.
Christmas Tree fun facts
- In 1848 a newspaper picture of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert beside a decorated tree helped make Christmas trees popular in Britain.
- After the holidays, many towns collect real Christmas trees and chip them into mulch for parks and gardens.
Classroom ideas
- Preschool (ages 3 to 5): put the easy page in a clear sleeve and trace it again and again with a dry-erase marker.
- Kindergarten: name the shapes in the tree, triangles, circles and a star, before tracing each one.
- Grade 1: once the Now you box is filled, students write one sentence about where their tree stands.

Frequently asked questions
Are the six ornaments hard to trace?
Each one is a closed circle, so going around it slowly and finishing where the line began is all it asks. The three small trees on the medium page for ages 6 to 8 have tiny versions of them.
Where does the pencil go down for a curved garland?
On an orange dot. Each dashed stroke begins at one, whether it is a tier, a garland or one of the ornaments.
Which shapes make up the tree?
A five-point star of short straight lines, three tiers with slanted sides, two curved garlands, six round ornaments, a short trunk and a pot. Naming the triangles, circles and star before tracing gives a child a plan for the page.
