 When a child has learned some basic shapes, you can help deepen that understanding by doing a sorting activity. So you could cut some shapes out of paper. You can see I cut out a square, a circle, and a triangle. And then you can ask the child, can you sort all of the squares together, and then the child can take the squares and sort them together. Then you could ask, can you put the circles all together, and then the child can take the circles and they can sort the circles together. Then you can ask, can you put the triangles together, and then the child can take the triangles and put the triangles together. And you can do this with any kinds of shapes that the child may be working with. This activity helps the child deepen their understanding of shapes as well as sorting and also improves their critical thinking skills.
