Shape Puzzles

4/24/2017

The free membership printable this week is shape puzzles for shape identification. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them and then cut along the dashed lines.

I mixed the puzzle pieces up and set them out in basket. There are three different colors for each shape making a total of 24 puzzles. You can choose to have the children do one set or all three.

In this activity the children find the two halves of the shape puzzle and put them together. Play continues until all shapes have been formed.

You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday April 30th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added a shape alphabet that can be used for sequence and matching activities.

The free membership printable this week is teddy bear shape tracers. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them. I then set them out along with washable markers.

Shape tracers are great for developing fine motor and writing skills as well as shape identification. I have included an all black and white set ... a colored bear only version .... and a colored bear with colored shapes version so you have a choice in which to use with your early learners.

The free membership printable this week is Dinosaur Shape Tracers. This is a great activity for fine motor development and pre-writing skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.

I set them out with some markers. We use crayola washables because they are easy to wipe off the laminated tracers.

The first step is to trace the shapes with their fingers. The children also try to name the shapes that are on each card.

The children then trace around the shapes with markers. Play continues until all the shapes have been traced. You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday April 24th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is also where the dinosaur alpha tracers are located.

penguin shape tracers for preschool and kindergarten

We are working a lot on shapes and pre-writing skills this month. I made penguin shape tracers for the children to use in our writing center. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out.

I laminated all of the shape tracers and set them out with crayola washable markers. I made the tracers with the same shapes on them and then with mixed shapes on them. Children were free to choose which tracers they wanted to use.

In this activity children trace the shapes with washable markers. We then talk about what shapes are on each tracer. You can grab the patterns for free until Sunday January 24th ... after that they will only be available in the member's section which is where the penguin letter sequence can also be found.
