Because shapes are all around us, it is easy to play Find the Shape' at home
, in the car, in the store and elsewhere. Select one shape at a time to concentrate on, rather than trying to find all the different shapes.
Good quality worksheets for preschool will help your child progress from recognizing different shapes, seeing how they form part of other objects, and should help them learn how to draw them. Drawing shapes is the precursor to learning how to write, and a good set of worksheets should take you step-by-step through this process until your child is drawing shapes on their own, free hand. Look out for worksheets that combine learning shapes with the use of different colors, as this is particularly effective in reinforcing the shape names. A step-by-step teaching method that provides ample opportunity to practice will be ideal.
