How to Make
- Take a piece of white A4 card and spell out ‘shape guides’ across the top in self-adhesive letters.
- Draw on a square using a ruler and pen, then a triangle below that. Spell out ‘square’ and ‘triangle’ in stickers next to the relevant shapes.
- Take coloured card and cut out a square exactly the same size as the one you’ve drawn on the white piece of card. Once it’s been cut out, it should fit perfectly over the square you’ve drawn.
- Take another piece of coloured card and cut out a triangle exactly the same size as the one you’ve drawn on the white piece of card. Once it’s been cut out, it should fit perfectly over the triangle you’ve drawn.
- Repeat for as many shapes as desired, keeping two shapes to a page of A4 card.
Top Tip
Start with very simple shapes for young children and work up once they've got to grips with the activity so they don't lose patience
