Teaching Shapes to Toddlers - 4

Shape Scapes!

I started by cutting several sizes of the different shapes I was doing and then let them glue a city or an ocean.

Then they went at it, giggling at the shapes they had picked.

Here they are all finished - minus 2 that were too wet to hang.

I added faces and a tag with name, date, title of project.

Cute and colorful! :)

If you wanted to make this more advanced you could trace shapes and have them cut them out themselves.

Oval Dogs

Yesterday was a SQUARE DAY. Smores Nachos.

Today is an OVAL DAY!

Cut a bunch of different sizes of ovals.  Grab some brown paint and some sponges!

See, a lot!

Sponge paint ALL of the ovals.

keep going...

done!  Let them dry and assemble. Add googly eyes and an oval nose and an oval tongue, and here it is...

CUTE! 

Try it, its fun...let me know how it went for you!
