Notes

It was up to my six-year-old which shapes to build and how to assemble them. And he did great! He explored the 3D shapes around him and then began to build.
I would also begin to build shapes with my preschooler this way to help begin exposure to 2D and 3D shapes.
Having great math toys at home helps build creative young minds! Try this Kindergarten shape activity today!
