Activities

• Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around the house or yard! Look for objects that are circles, squares, and triangles. When you find one, say, "Look! This is a circle!"

• Shape Drawing: Draw shapes in the air with your finger or on the ground with chalk (if outside). Say, "Let's make a big square together!"

Talking Points

• "What shape is this? Can you find something like it around us?"
• "Look at this circle! It goes round and round. Can you make a circle with your arms?"
• "A square has four sides! Can you count them with me? One, two, three, four!"
• "Triangles have three corners! Can you point to your three fingers?"
