Make studying Shapes Fun With Kids Crafts

Learning shapes is a underlying skill toddlers and preschool children learn early in life. Shapes are all colse to us in everyday items like the television, drinking glasses and even windows in our houses. But studying to identify the many distinct shapes is not all the time easy for toddlers.
 
As parents, grandparents and daycare providers, we can help kids learn shapes while having lots of fun. Kids of all ages love to originate and make things with their own hands and these kids craft ideas are a exquisite way to combine some fun and lots of learning.
 
Shapes Crafts for Kids
 
When studying shapes, kids generally start with the basic shapes like circles, squares, triangles, etc. So think of anything that has these basic shapes and then turn it into a kids craft idea. For instance, using easy craft supplies like building paper, scissors and glue you can make many distinct shapes crafts.
 
Here are some quick ideas for shapes crafts that you can do with your kids.
 
A House of Shapes
 
Cut out basic house shapes with distinct colored building paper. Use a quadrate or rectangle for the house, a triangle for the roof and some circles, ovals, smaller squares and rectangles for the parts of the house.
 
Then have the kids glue the house together on a piece of paper. They can use ovals, circles or anything shape for the windows. Have them name the shapes as they glue their house together.
 
Animal Shapes Crafts
 
Kids can originate many animals, insects and fish using some of the basic shapes. For instance, originate a cute angel fish using triangle shapes to form the body, tail and fins. Penguins are all the rage right now and your kids can put one together with a few oval shapes and a circle for the head. Use black and white building paper or craft foam and you can have a cute penguin in no time. Glue them to a popsicle stick and you have an instant puppet.
 
Inexpensive Crafts to Learn Shapes
 
Kids craft ideas do not have to be high-priced or even use your typical craft supplies. Instead recycle some of your household items to make many distinct shaped crafts. Reuse an empty coffee can to make a easy drum. The circle shape of the can is exquisite for creating a drum set. Just cover the can with building paper, decorate and put the lid back on. Then use some wooden dowels or Bbq skewers and some wooden beads to originate your drum sticks. If you don't have wooden beads you can even use marshmallows. Just stick the marshmallow on the end of the stick. You can even paint them which will help seal the gooey treat. Keep in mind, these drumsticks are not for eating. 
 
Use paper plates to originate a king or queen's crown. Cut out some triangles from the middle of the plate and then decorate with glitter glue, beads and ribbon and they have a king or queen's crown they can wear.
 
Get out the old newspapers and originate a Paper Mache craft. Paper Mache is a great way to originate many distinct shaped crafts. You can originate an oval shaped Easter egg by blowing up a balloon (into an oval shape) and then just start laying your Paper Mache together. Once all is dried, just decorate and you have a ended craft. 
 
Shapes Activities
 
Learning shapes with kids crafts are a great way to get the children involved and having fun while they learn. You can also add many shapes activities for kids to help reinforce their learning.  Create some flash cards with distinct shapes and have them play "concentration" or matching the shapes with the cards.
 
You can even reinvent those old beloved childhood games like "red light, green light". Instead of the child calling out red light, green light, give them two shapes to call out and one shape would mean go and the other would mean stop. Another kid's performance idea for studying shapes is to place distinct objects colse to the house. Then ask your child to find all quadrate shaped objects, and then circle shapes, etc.
 
Another great way to help with their studying is with fun songs or lyrics. Studies show that by adding a catchy tune or lyrics children are able to withhold the information better. Rather you use kids craft ideas, activities, a catchy song or a combination of all of these, you and your kids will have fun while they learn their shapes.
