These free printable triangle templates are perfect for crafts and math activities!
I love sharing printable shape patterns. Today's post features a variety of printable triangles that range in size from 1" up to 10" triangle template! And, because I was just having too much fun making triangles to quit, I also made a triangle worksheet for preschoolers. I hope you enjoy!
How to use triangle templates
This post includes affiliate links, which means I may make a small commission on purchased made through links at no additional cost to you.
There are so many ways to use printable triangles! Here are just a few:
Cut out different sizes to make a triangle fish! Use a large triangle for the body. Glue a smaller triangle on top for a fin and attach a medium fin for a tail. Have your little one draw on eyes and a mouth!
Use the triangle printables for math activities.
Have your child color and trace triangles to practice making the triangle shape.
Help your child cut out the triangle templates as shape learning practice and to develop their scissor skills.
Explore triangles by making a larger triangle from multiple smaller triangles, like in the image below. For this to work, you will need smaller triangles that are ½ size of the larger triangle (for example, four 1.5" triangles and one 3" triangle).
A quick word to the wise: Cutting out lots of small shapes gets really, really tedious. (and painful! I rubbed my hand raw with scissors before cutting out paper flowers for our wedding.)
If you need lots of smaller triangles, do yourself huge favor and just get a triangle punch. They're inexpensive and will save your hand.
Are you a teacher or a parent? If so, you need a free Ebates account ASAP! (They're called Rakuten now, but same thing.) Ebates gives you cash back with a zillion different online retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Lego, Crayola, and more. If I'd signed up when I first learned about them years ago, I'd have earned hundreds in cash back by now!

Hello! I'm sorry you're having trouble with the templates. The download links are located in the post. They are located above each preview image and named for the file ("1 inch star template," etc.) Clicking the links will take you to Google Drive. You won't see a preview because the files are compressed as .zip files, but you can unzip them on your computer once they're downloaded. I hope that helps!
