What Makes These Cards Special
These shapes images with examples help your child learn the importance of shapes in our daily life by associating pictures of geometric shapes in everyday life. And this learning shapes also sets the foundation for math and geometry learning.
What are some examples of geometric shapes? We find circles in the shape of the moon, or the end of a log. We find stars in flowers, and spirals along the curve of a snails back. The top of a mountain forms a triangle. I’ve included as many natural shapes examples as possible — but sometimes (like trapezoids) they are hard to find in nature and I’ve included some common household objects too.
Reuse them (over and over). Why use printables? Because you get to print them as many times as you want. And repurpose them into a million different activities. Ideas included.
Relatable. Associating shapes in real life objects helps your child learn faster and more intuitively.
Vibrant colors. Colorful watercolor art keeps your little learner focused and engaged.
Compact design. Take them in the car, to the park, in an airplane, to grandma’s house. They go everywhere!
Activity Ideas
Here’s how to teach your toddler shapes with fun shape activities. Here are 5 of my favorite ideas to get you started:
Sensory bin. Find physical objects that match the cards and hide them in a sensory bin. Have your child discover the objects, then match them to the pictures of the different shapes of objects.
Card games. Create a deck of cards by printing multiple sets of cards and play card games like Go Fish, Slap It and Memory.
Scavenger hunt. Hide shape objects around the room, then find and match them to the cards.
Relay race. Little one having trouble sitting to learn? Then get them up and moving with a relay race — running back and forth to match shape objects to the right card.
Nature walk. Go for a nature walk and look for naturally occurring geometric shapes in daily life and check off each shape as you find it.
Who These Printables Are For
Parents. If you’ve got a toddler, preschool, pre-k, or kindergarten kid and are looking for enriching activities for them instead of using screen time.
Teachers + educators. Need engaging teaching resources for your classroom? Here’s your unique solution.
Montessori lovers. Perfect for creating hands-on activities at home or in the classroom.
Homeschool parents. Need to supplement a preschool or kindergarten curriculum? Add these to your morning basket or lesson plan.
Gift givers. If you’re looking for a special birthday gift, new parent gift, or baby shower gift that I can guarantee you no one else will be giving.
How It Works
1. Download. Grab your PDF file, available immediately upon purchase via email and in your account (if you created one),
2. Print. On your home printer, on Letter (8.5″ x 11″) or A4 paper (cardstock paper recommended).
3. Laminate (optional). It’s optional but recommended to preserve color and make your pages last longer, but using cardstock only is fine too.
4. Cut it out. Cut out the activity on the solid gray line.
