We like working with shapes and have created a lot of shape crafts throughout the years but this is our first shape activity. We’re sharing today a pumpkin shape matching activity.
This is a great matching game for preschoolers and kindergartners to practice at home or at school. It’s almost no prep for teachers and easy for parents to use with their kids. A simple way to support math learning in a fun way.
This is a fun and educational way for preschoolers to review eight different shapes!
With this activity, children can enhance their shape recognition skills while enjoying the Halloween spirit.
They will engage in hands-on learning as they match the corresponding shapes to the pumpkin names on leaves, reinforcing their knowledge of square, rectangle, oval, circle, star, hexagon, triangle and rhombus.
This interactive and visually appealing activity is perfect for both classroom settings and at-home learning, providing a festive and engaging way for preschoolers to review and reinforce their shape recognition abilities.
