SHAPES PRINTABLES PRESCHOOL

WHY TEACH SHAPES


Well, for one they are fun to teach!  Shapes are one of the early learning concepts that a child can see and identify, either verbally or non-verbally, at a young age.  Parents expose their child to different shapes just by experiencing life together, and naturally children begin to associate the term circle, for instance, with an object that is round as parents point out circles throughout their day to day activities.  

As you are on a walk, point out the square windows and octagon stop sign.  

When serving dinner, tell your child about his/her round or square plate.  

In turn, being able to identify, discriminate, and sort various objects by shapes will help them identify, discriminate, and sort through letters, numbers, etc!  

SHAPES PRINTABLES PRESCHOOL


''Worksheets''  and printables have gotten a bad rap, but they don't have to be dull, boring, and/or drill & kill! And our shapes preschool printables prove just that!  

These shape printables will not only teach and reinforce simple shapes, but your child will also work on fine motor skills, counting, shape recognition, visual discrimination, and more!!

 
Most of the shape printables are ''print & go,'' but with little hands, you may find it beneficial to laminate the printables or place them in a page protector.
