Instructions
1. Draw shapes, such as circles, squares, and triangles about 4" in diameter on
one color of poster board. Cut out the shapes, without cutting the area of
board around them (like a template).
2. Glue the template to the other color of poster board to form a shape puzzle.
3. Invite the child to choose cutouts and match them to the shapes on the
board.
More to do
Math: If desired, use white poster board and color code individual shapes to the
shapes on template. Ask the children to identify both the shape and color.
