Shapes All Around Us

Shapes are hiding everywhere — in your breakfast, your toys and your bedroom! Let us learn their names.

The shape squad

• 🔵 Circle — perfectly round, no corners. Like a ball, a pizza, the sun!
• 🟦 Square — 4 equal sides, 4 corners. Like a window or a chessboard square.
• 🔺 Triangle — 3 sides, 3 corners. Like a slice of pizza or a mountain.
• ▭ Rectangle — 4 sides, 4 corners, two long and two short. Like a door or a book.
• ⭐ Star — 5 points (usually). Like the ones in the sky at night.

Count the sides

A triangle has 3 sides, a square has 4, a circle has 0 straight sides — it is one smooth curve! Counting sides and corners is the beginning of geometry.

Shape hunt at home
