Twelve shape cards for toddlers and preschoolers: circle, oval, triangle, square, rectangle, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, star, heart and crescent. Each front shows one big shape in a bright colour; the back gives its name and how many sides and corners it has. Name the shape, count its corners with a finger, then turn over to check. Hunting for the same shapes around the house (a round plate, a square window) makes them stick.
How to print and use these cards
The PDF has 4 pages: 2 sheets of 9 card fronts, each followed by its backs. Print double-sided and flip on the long edge, or glue each back page to its front before cutting. Then cut on the dashed lines.
Ways to play
- Count the corners of each shape with a finger, then check the back.
- Go on a shape hunt: find something round, something square and something like a triangle.
- Sort the cards into shapes with straight sides and shapes with curves.

Printing tips
- Print one sheet double-sided first to check how your printer lines up the backs.
- Keep each set in an envelope or a zip bag, and write the set’s name on it.
- Mix in two or three cards a child already knows, so every practice starts with a win.
