• Colored construction paper cut into shapes:
• 10 squares
• 10 circles
• 10 triangles
• 10 rectangles

WHAT YOU DO:

• Have children sit in a circle or sit across from your child on the floor.
• Place all of the cut-out shapes in the middle of the floor.
• Have the children choose a number of shapes.
• Each child then creates an animal or other creature using the shapes they have picked up.
• Make a game of it and when one "round" is complete, put all the shapes back in the pile and start again.
