Building with Shapes

     One activity that I have always found was is building with shape cutouts. I could always pull out my shapes, and my kids would be as excited as ever. This activity was a hit with my preschoolers. They would beg me to pull out my shapes, just about every single day.

     I am so excited that Brooklee is finally at this fun age of wanting to create things, and build things. I decided it was time to pull out my shapes, and let her build anything that she wanted. Of course, she wanted me to help her. Together, we made a big triangle out of little triangles. We built a tower, and even a train.

Brooklee was so happy that she started singing, and making up words to a train song. I could really tell that she was enjoying herself.

     To make these shapes, I jtook some construction paper and cut out some basic shapes of the paper. I then took some clear contact paper, and "laminated" the pieces.  That was it. Really simple.

If you need another shape idea, I have a printable matching shape game that you could use too. You can find it by clicking here.
