Ever had your kid look at you and say that your face is a circle? No? Count yourself lucky. When I created these cute bug shapes clip cards for Caleb I had one thing on my mind. I wanted to help my kid identify the shapes around him.
In order for him to even look at me and consider any activity that I set out for him, it needs to be hands on. If all he sees are paper and pencil then I can just forget it. If you are looking for a way to help your kids with identifying shapes, especially 2d ones then keep reading.
What You Need for the Bug Shapes Clip Cards
Please note that affiliate links are used below for your convenience.
First, print the worksheets on regular printing paper.
Second, cut the pages in 2 along the dividing line in the middle. If you want the really quick route, forget about cutting the page. Simply slip the pages in a Wipe and Write Pocket (see above in list) or a protective worksheet.
Third, demonstrate to your child what needs to be done. Identify the shape and then place a counter on the correct number.
Fourth, have your child do the activity.
Helpful Tips
If you don’t have any counters on hand, use whatever you can find. It could be as simple as coins, pom poms. We actually used the colored pasta from our Circus Color Activity.
You can also skip the counters altogether. Simply slip the worksheets in a protective sheet and allow your child to use a dry erase marker to identify the correct number.
