DLTK's Educational Activities Shapes Buddies Worksheets Note:  Kristi E. Urbelis, M.S. contributed this project and very kindly sent along templates to go with.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to use the templates for the internet (long techy story *grin*).  I put some of my own templates together because I thought her idea was so useful.  Thanks Kristi!

Materials:

• paper

• printer

• glue

• something to color with (if using the B&W versions)

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice -- you need the shapes buddy worksheet and shapes cards template for each shape.
    

• OPTION:  if you decide not to use the shapes cards templates, you could just have the children use crayons to draw pictures of that shape on the shapes buddy worksheet.
    

• Children cut out the shapes cards (good scissor skills practice) and paste the 4 pictures with the matching shape to the Shapes Buddy worksheet.  The two non-matching shapes can be discarded or glued on the back of the worksheet.
    

• These worksheets are very simple for beginning learners (and help children with scissor skills)

Templates:

• 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).
