DLTK's Educational Activities for Kids
Shapes Scenes

These are fun little sheets that allow children to colour and cut out the shapes provided and glue them to a second template to make a scene! 

A little bit of scissors practice and some shapes matching for preschool, kindergarten and early grade school children.

As an aside, this is also a good primer for drawing pictures.  Seeing the "simple shapes" in a picture is the first step to becoming a budding artist!

Materials:

• printer and paper
• scissors
• glue
• Optional:  Something to color with

Instructions:

• Print out the template of your choice -- you need two Templates for each project.  The one with the shapes and the one with the scene.  You can mix and match the black and white and colour images if you like (the shapes will match up fine).
   
• Cut out the images from the shapes template.
   
• Match up the shapes on the scene Templates and glue them on.
   
• Let the glue dry.
   
• Colour the image (if you would like to).
   

Printing the Template:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
     

• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
