Shape Day

Engagement Time

All Day

Shape Day is designed to improve your little one’s recall of a new shape including both its name or properties.

Materials Required

Nil

Method

For this activity you would dedicate a whole day to doing things related to one shape such as square; triangle or circle. If you were to choose to have a Circle Day you may begin the day with crumpets and rice bubbles or fruit loops for breakfast. You may then jump on the mini tramp; play on the swings (semi-circle); throw and catch a frisbee and use pencils/marker pens to draw - cylinders. After a pita bread lunch you could then play with clocks; cut and juice some oranges; make potato stamp art works and thread buttons before making pizzas for dinner. The possibilities for a shape day are seemingly endless provided you spend a few moments the day before brainstorming and planning your activities.
