For activity #2, learning shapes for kindergarten readiness, we’ll do the shape of hugs–circles, that is. This can be fit in with many of your day’s tasks. For instance, while putting the dishes away or setting the table ask your child if any of them are circles. As you walk somewhere today, you and your child can look for and maybe count some circles. While busy in the house, check a room for circles. Are there some rooms with no circles? Which room has lots of circles?
Lots of decorations are circles. Here is a craft idea that uses circles. Using old cards trace around a cup or jar lid and cut out 4 circles. Fold them in half with the picture part inside. Put glue on half of the backs of 2 circles and glue them together like a letter T. Do the same with the other 2, then glue the 2 T’s together. Now you have a circle shape made of circles. Attach a ribbon to make a tree decoration. Speaking of circles, what shape is a hug? Remember, 4 Hugs A Day Is The Minimum (song by Charlotte Diamond)
What’s the shape of the day at your house or carecenter?
