Listen to the song “3D Shapes That I Know”. Then, “play I spy” Take a walk outside and say “I spy a ….” (sphere, cone, cylinder, rectangular prism, cube, and triangular prism). Your child will respond with an object that is the shape. For example, “I spy a rectangular prism...” and your child responds “a brick” depending on the shape they find.

Ask your caregiver to describe some attributes of 3D shapes found in your living space. The learner will identify which 3D shapes are flat or curved and what the shape is in the living space. As an example:

Review three dimensional shapes with the book: “Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes”. Create a picture using a sphere, cone, cylinder, rectangular prism, cube, and triangular prism. You can use more than one of each. For example: use a cone and sphere to make an ice cream.
