Activity : Recognizing Shapes

Hi Moms,

Looking for some activity for your kid. Want to let him know about shapes.

Start with three basic shapes. Starting with more than one shape will give him idea to compare and know the difference in the shapes. Go on with Circle, Triangle and Square.

The easiest way is to show these shapes in the picture book.

Then go in little realistic way. You can show your bangle or circular toy ring to make him realize what circle looks like. Similarly show a triangular cap or square table top for triangle and square . Take help of some toys as well.

You may have to repeat this for a few days, showing different objects.

Once you know your child is able to recognize them you can plan the activity mentioned.

Sample drawing

The picture contains different shapes, help your child recognizing them and then coloring with appropriate recognized colors. You can use this or you can draw similar one.

For bigger kids you can extend this activity a bit further. You draw/print the shapes used in this image on paper. Help your kid to color them and then cut it separately. And then paste it on a card board or hard paper to build this image.
