Teaching children shapes is so much easier when they can apply them to real life. They become more memorable. Once they are able to recognize shapes, children can easily see how different things fit together.
The pictures in this activity show blank spaces of different items in different shapes. Your child will learn to spot the shapes and figure out which item fits that shape.
By doing this, your child will ultimately be able to categorize those items by shape when they see them in real life.
