Then help your child arrange the squares on the glued surface to make a collage. In The Kitchen An activity that I enjoy doing at the end of a unit on shapes is to have a party with snacks cut into the 4 basic shapes. I cut sandwiches into triangles, use square crackers or graham cracker squares with peanut butter, round crackers with cheese and rectangular wafer cookies. Give each child a small cutout of the shape you are working on. Add to your set each year.
Child puts hand in the bag and picks a shape.
The child attempts to identify the shape without looking at it. Have them justify the guess before removing the shape from the bag. Put shapes in bag. Again have them tell why they think the shape they have is the correct one. Use shapes to make patterns on paper or in pocket charts.
