ShapeTastic

Description
Using construction paper, glue and scissors, make a collage of color and shapes. This a wonderful opportunity to work on your Toddler’s colors and shapes identification while improving your Preschooler’s their fine motor skills. This a great project for rainy days when you need a project and you need it fast. Example by Trey, age 2 1/2.

Materials

•1 Sheet of Construction Paper or Cardstock (We chose Black.)

•Several Sheets of Construction Paper (Since my kids are working on color identification, we used a wide variety.)

•Non-Toxic School Glue

•Scissors

•Pencil

Step by Step

1.Trace and cut your chosen colors into different shapes. I recommend children 3+ to trace and cut out their own shapes. (I chose Triangles and Squares).

2.Glue your shapes onto a dark sheet of construction paper. Children can create designs or a collage of shape and color.

3.Let their creativity flow.
