They were doing shapes in school so I was thinking that we should review our shapes at home too. I made this FREE printable so we can do a hands-on and at the same time do some matching: shape, name and number of sides. Unfortunately, he couldn't wait. When he saw the printed materials he wanted to work on it already.
Using the craft sticks I got from the craft store few years ago, he formed the shapes just as in the cards. I made a point that the rectangle has two longer sides that's why he has to connect two sticks to make them longer so he can form a rectangle.
I made him use white felt mat so the sticks won't slip on the table. (Click the image below for the link)

A close look of my FREE printable. The shapes are color coded to match the color of the sticks that we have.
Once cut, this is how you can work on with the matching activity. Let your child identify the shape, match the label or the sides.
And for writing and spelling practice, an activity sheet is also included in the file.
