Talking Points

• Shapes are all around us! What shapes can you see in this room right now?

"Look around and see if you can find any circles, squares, or triangles in the room. Shapes are everywhere!"

• Shapes can be big or small. Can you find something that is shaped like a circle but very big?

"Some shapes can be tiny, like a button, while others can be huge, like a big round table!"

• Combining shapes can make new shapes. What happens when you put a triangle on top of a square?

"When you put a triangle on top of a square, you create a new shape! It's like making a puzzle."

• Shapes can be used to create beautiful artworks. How can you use shapes to make your artwork interesting?

"You can use different shapes to create patterns, characters, or even imaginary worlds in your artwork!"
