Eleven big, bold 2D shapes on one page, each with its name underneath: circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval, star, heart, rhombus (a diamond), pentagon, hexagon and octagon. The shapes are large enough for chunky crayons, so it suits toddlers and preschoolers as well as kindergarten. Color it online with a tap on each shape, or print the PDF and say each name out loud while coloring. It makes a good shapes poster for the wall afterwards.
