What shape this is? What shape this is?
Do you know what shape this is, I'm holding in my hand?
Note: Hold up a different shape each time and have your children yell out the shape.
Snakes
paper plate snake color plate then cut in spiral
pretzel recipe make letter s snake pretzels make yellow and 8 inches for authentic python babies like Verdi
Shapes
Fold paper in half then open and drop dots of paint in it close and smoosh out paint for inkblots. Identify shapes.
shape buddies DLTK
have your children make shapes on paper. Then put spaghetti around the shape and let dry. The spaghetti will harden in the shape the children put that in.
Tape Different shapes onto the floor. Have your children step from shape to shape as you play music plays. When the music stops have the children stop and yell out what shape they are standing on.
Pattern blocks to play with
Create a shape book by folding large consruction paper in half and then making a page for each shape. I did this by using
* First Page:
"Blue Square, Blue Square, What do you See?"
And then having blue squares on the page (or let the children glue them on).
* Second Page
"I see a Purple triangle looking at me"
And Have Purple triangles on the page (or let the children glue them on)
On the bottom on the page write "Purple Triangle, purple triangle what do you see?"
* Continue until all shapes are made
Snowflakes
Snowflake Bentley
snowflake paper chain
snowflakes from coffee filters
fold filter in half repeatedly until you have a small triangle cut out shapes from edges then open for a snowflake.
