Masking Tape Roads– I love using masking tape to make roads, runways etc (have a look at our Masking Tape Airport here) You can easily incorporate shape learning into these activities.making the roads different shapes (circles, squares etc) and getting the children to ‘drive’ their cards round the shapes.Stencils- Either using pre bought shape stencils or objects you’ve got that are different shapes (building blocks for example, coins etc) children can use their fine motor skills to practise drawing shapes.Children (if able to) could use scissors to cut shapes out of coloured paper or even make shapes out of items found on a nature walk.for example triangles made from sticks, circles from leaves etc. Make Shapes– Another easy-to-set up activity is making shapes.We love love…love this book Shapes, Colours, Numbers by Dario Zeruto. Simple, beautiful and colourful- perfect for getting children talking about shapes. Books– Those who read my blog regularly will notice I always include books! But for a very good reason- they are a fantastic tool to introduce new learning and reinforce established knowledge.
Shape Hunt– Kids adore this! Get them looking for shapes all around them, it’s surprising how many shapes you will find from square light switches to rectangular windows.there’s shapes everywhere! You could do it whilst on a walk, at home or in the classroom.I love that there are so many activities you can do with children to help them with this topic. How can you teach children about 2D and 3D shapes?
