1st Grade Symmetry Worksheets | Grade1to6.com - Free Printable

To solve this symmetry worksheet, we need to complete each drawing so that the left side is a mirror image of the right side (or vice versa). Imagine there is an invisible vertical line down the middle of each box. We must draw the missing half to match the existing half exactly, just flipped over.

Let’s go through each one:

---

Top Left: Bird-like shape

The existing part shows the left half of a bird — head pointing left, wing curving up, tail down. To complete it symmetrically, we draw the right half:

- Mirror the head curve to point right.
- Mirror the wing to curve up on the right side.
- Mirror the tail to curve down on the right side.

Result: A full symmetrical bird shape, like a dove or pigeon in flight.

Top Right: Trophy cup

We see the left half of a trophy: handle on left, bowl curving inward, stem and base.

To complete it:

- Draw the right handle mirroring the left.
- Complete the bowl’s curve on the right.
- Mirror the stem and base so both sides are identical.

Result: A full symmetrical trophy with two handles and balanced base.

Bottom Left: Butterfly wings

We have the left wing of a butterfly — three lobes (top, middle, bottom) attached at center.

To complete:

- Draw the right wing with same 3 lobes, mirrored.
- Top lobe curves up-right, middle goes straight out, bottom curves down-right.
- All connect at the same center point.

Result: Full butterfly with symmetrical wings.

Bottom Right: Leaf

Left half of a leaf with jagged edges and a stem.

To complete:

- Mirror each jagged edge on the right side.
- The top tip should mirror the left tip.
- The stem at the bottom should be mirrored too — so if left stem curves slightly left, right stem curves slightly right.

Result: Full symmetrical leaf with matching serrated edges on both sides.

✔ All four shapes are now complete with perfect vertical symmetry.

Final Answer:
Draw the mirror image of each given half across the vertical centerline to complete the symmetrical figure for all four boxes:
1. Bird → full bird with mirrored wings and tail
2. Trophy → full trophy with second handle and mirrored base
3. Butterfly → full butterfly with mirrored right wing
4. Leaf → full leaf with mirrored right-side serrations and stem
