Day 1

Use the following objects to teach 3-D Shapes:

Party hat = cone

Gift box or large block = cube

Use this “Solid Figures” Poem to help child remember the names of the shapes.

Go on a hunt around the house to find other objects that are clearly 3-D shapes. Create your own “Shape Museum.” Be sure to point out what each “base” shape is (a cone has a circle base, a cube has a square base).
