Sorting Fun ~ Circles and Triangles

Cut and Paste Circle and Triangle Picture Sort

Since the Plant and Animal Picture Sort went so well I couldn’t wait to make another one for Emily.  We have been doing a shape study with our Art Group so I thought it would be fun to make a shape picture sort for Emily.  I found pictures of every day objects that were either shaped like a circle or triangle for this activity.

First, I printed out the  Circle and Triangle Pictures(click to download the one I made) and then Emily got to work cutting each one out.  As she was working on it we talked about each picture.  Emily was familiar with all of the pictures.  It is fun to see how excited she gets when she sees things that she likes in these activities.

After Emily cut the pictures out she placed them on the construction paper that I labeled for her and got to work gluing them down.

  Emily’s Finished Project!

 

I am planning on make more of these since they are great cutting and sorting practice and Emily really enjoys doing them. 

What Cut and Paste Picture Sort should I make next???  Leave your ideas in the comments and you just may find in on my next post!!!

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Triangle Collage Kite

I was searching the internet for things to do in April and discovered that April is National Kite Month so to celebrate we made a triangle kite collage. I am hoping to make some paper bag kites that I have seen on some other websites and try flying them at the park too!

I cut out large and small triangles from different colored construction paper. We talked about the difference in size and then Emily sorted them into a large pile and a small pile.

Next, Emily glued the different triangles onto a piece of construction paper that was cut into the shape of a kite.

We taped on a piece of ribbon for the tail and added construction paper bows.

Now we can't wait to make a real kite to fly at the park!!
