Shapes are so fun! Little ones explore, identify, and create shapes using tangrams or pattern blocks. The activity is intended to stimulate critical thinking while engaging learners through play and shape identification. Each child will create a shape by tracing pattern blocks and will then cut the shape apart and put it back together. When they are finished, they will write a friendly letter describing the shapes they used during the project.
