Lets cut some shapes

Activity for learning shapes:

Good for age: 15 months +, We did it at 16 months.

Skills developed: hand and eye coordination, motor skills, One can learn shapes

What you'll need:
1. Shape cutters or you can use different shape utensils from kitchen
2. playdough or you can make a dough at home

Detail:
Roll the dough. Use the shape cutters to cut. I ask A to pick shapes. For eg: Lets cut a circle and she picks the circle from the shapes. And then she puts the circle on the playdough and presses to cut it. Ofcourse I showed her once. This way, she revised her shapes and it was a fun learning exercise. Very good for hand eye coordination.

Note:
Be careful that the kid doesn't eat the dough.

Here I have attached the pic of what A had cut. Ofcourse its not perfect, but who cares :)

The shape cutters we used were from something like the one mentioned in the link below:

Basic shape sorter

We got them for a very good price.
