Shapes For Kids – Activities for kids 20 months and older

I absolutely love seeing older toddlers (Pre- Preschoolers) as they learn and explore their surroundings. Nothing beats sitting down with a little one and watch their eyes light up when they learn something new. Their excitement / celebrations and enthusiasm is contagious.

I recently sat down with Greyson (27 months) to work on his basic shape recognition and matching. He absolutely loved this activity.

Shapes For Kids

I loved watching him pick up and inspect his buttons – and find the matching shape on his paper. He really enjoyed it – and I did do.

Shapes For Kids – How It Works:

  • Download and print your shapes for kids cards. I laminated mine just to make them sturdier – but it is not necessary.
  • Put your multi purpose Large Shape Buttons into a container
    Buttons[3] (1)
  • Have your little one select a button – and watch them inspect it. They will flip it around in their hands. Show them how to trace the edges with their pointer finger.
  • Have them compare the button that is in their hand, to the cards on the floor.
  • They will place the button on the card that shows the same shape that they are holding!
