Play Tips:

• Print and cut out multiple copies of the shapes on page one. Your child can then color the shapes and glue them onto construction paper to make a geometric collage!
• Encourage hands-on, explorative play: how do the shapes fit together? What new shapes can they form? The best way for kids to learn about the properties of geometric shapes is to play with them!
