2D Shapes

Lacing 2D Shapes

We love combining skills in our activities, children get to build fine motor skills and coordination while pulling a shoe lace through the holes in these shapes cards.

Threading 2D Shapes

Drinking straws turn these simple shape cards into a fantastic fine motor activity. The kids get to practice forming the shape while working their coordination and little fingers.

Here are a few suggestions that you could use to glue onto these cards:

1. Giant Drinking Straws (what we used)
2. Died Rotini Pasta
3. Beads with Large Center Holes.

Shape Monster Cups

These Shapes Monsters are so easy to make. Just place the laminated monster mouths on top of a paper cup. Then kids can sort buttons or foam shapes to feed thier triangle, circle and other shape monsters.

Playdough Shapes

This is another fun way to practice shape formation. Children get the sensory fun of rolling out playdough into long snakes. Then they can follow the pattern on the card to make their shape.

Real Life Shapes Matching

Learning to recognize shapes in real life is an important early math skill. These clip cards allow children to find those shapes and work on grip strength as they clip those pictures.

Pizza Shapes

Making pizza is so fun, and for this game the kids can roll out or form their pizza dough into shapes like triangles, squares, and rectangles. We added red buttons to ours for our pepperoni toppings.

Shape Stencils Tracing

Shape Outline Circles – Fine Motor Fun

You can fill in the circles to outline these shapes with flat marbles, pom poms or for extra fun, use dot markers.
