Shape Recognition
This hands-on shape recognition activity is a great way for teaching toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners the common shapes they see everyday. Each card has the featured shape and the name of the shape for your child to trace. I recommend building the shapes out of popsicle sticks as shown on the shape flashcard. Then flip over the card for more practice with shape recognition as children cross out the picture that is not the featured shape. This is such a quick, easy, and simple shape activity that provides fun practice. Whether you are a parent, teacher, or homeschooler – this shapes name for kidsis super handy! Use it as extra practice, reinforcement, math centers,a nd other shapes activiteis for kindergarten.
