Fall is a wonderful season for introducing young children to learning activities that connect with seasonal themes.
One creative way to help kids learn about shapes is by using materials that capture their attention, and a hands-on activity that encourages them to interact with shapes is perfect for this time of year.
This resource includes 26 pumpkin-themed cards, each featuring a different shape. If you have kids that love hands on, tactile learning, these will keep them busy for hours. These cards are designed to be used with playdough, which kids can press and mold into the shapes on the cards. Alternatively, children can use dry-erase markers, mini pom poms, or even pumpkin seeds to fill in the shapes, allowing for a variety of sensory experiences.
In addition to building fine motor skills, this activity can help children improve shape recognition. Learning through play is an effective way for young minds to grasp concepts, and having the flexibility to use different materials keeps the activity fresh and exciting.
The pumpkin theme not only ties into the fall season but also introduces a playful and imaginative way to make shape learning more memorable. For a more interactive learning experience, children could also trace the shapes with their fingers before filling them in or even practice naming each shape as they play. Activities like these can help children strengthen their understanding of geometric concepts in a fun, seasonal way.
