This game can be more difficult if you use a dark cloth to gently cover their eyes. Encourage them to take one-by-one objects in the bag and call out what shapes they are and help your toddler sort them into piles according to shape. Gather several different objects and put them in closed bags.
You can make the game more challenging by searching for the objects that have the same shapes and colors as the 2D shapes in the chart. Shape Hunt GameĬut a shape out of the chart and have fun searching your house or neighborhood for objects that match that shape.

The advanced shapes chart includes 16 different shapes, ranging from basic shapes to more complex shapes such as hexagon and parallelogram.
If your kids already know all the basic shapes, you can introduce them to the advanced level of shapes (ready more below!) – which includes 16 shapes from basic to complex. Here, I also share with you a variety of fun activities for learning shapes that you can pick and have fun with your kids while teaching and learning 2D shapes. The basic shapes chart contains the 6 most common shapes that your babies or toddlers need to learn and practice – circle, square, rectangle, triangle, oval, and diamond. Develop problem-solving skills and complete puzzles The Basic 2D Shapes Chart Boost reading and math skills in the futureĥ. Improve communication skills by using descriptive vocabularyįor example, shapes recognition allows your kid to express what she wants (I want the start cookies, not the circle ones), what she sees (I see a circular wheel in the backyard), and her ideas/opinions (I think a square pizza might be taste better the circle pizza)Ĥ.

However, like always I was excited to give it a try and I trust that my team of great teachers can always pull our “we know best” card if necessary. To be honest I was completely surprised and really doubted that this would be successful. We follow Math in Focus and they pace out 3D shapes first. Sure we have talked about shapes, but did not have the “real” shape talk until after break. Something new this year was that we introduced 3-D shapes first. We started our shape unit right after Christmas break. Hey friends! Super excited to be blogging about our latest happenings in the classroom! Ev-er-y night I tell myself I MUST blog, but yeah you know life usually has other plans! I love sharing ideas because I am so thankful for all of the ideas I’ve found from other great teachers like yourselves 🙂 I tend to want to explain every last detail so that’s what usually delays my timely posts…so here it goes!
