Early Childhood - Space and Shapes

These laminated mats were used in the following ways:
- trace the shapes with your finger
- create the shape by laying objects along the perimeter of the shape
- experiment "filling-in" the shape using different objects
- practice recreating the shape beside the mat
- make the shape, then make it larger
- practice printing and saying the name of the shape
- look for other things with this shape in them in the classroom
