My daughter enjoyed adding a second layer of Magnatiles to her shape puzzles.
We also counted how many smaller shapes it took to fill the larger shape. *Tip: Follow your child’s lead – what questions do they have? “What would happen if you built the shapes upward like a box?” “What does this shape remind you of?” (A stop sign, a window, the table, etc.) “How many sides does that shape have?” (Can you touch the sides as you count?) “Why do you think I wrote the word there?” In this case, I asked some simple questions to get my daughter thinking about shapes: Here’s a great article from Edutopia if you want to hear more about scaffolding. Scaffolding Language: Any easy way to incorporate learning throughout an activity is to scaffold learning (or, support and encourage learning on a deeper level). *Tip: D ry erase markers will wash away easily on our light panel with some cleaner and a paper towel, but be sure to experiment with a small mark first! I wrote the names of each shape inside with a dry erase marker to sneak in some extra learning! 🙂 Make the large shapes out of Magnatiles and arrange them on your light table. Magnatiles (You could substitute with pattern blocks or any shapes that you have on hand).Washi Tape (You could use any tape that will not leave a residue).Light Table (Don’t have a light table? You could certainly do this without a light table, but here’s the light panel that we use and love!).But, I’ll explain more about that later in the post! Please stop by and see what they’re up to!Īmazon Links are provided for you – thank you for the support!Īre you curious about how you can help Preschoolers learn shapes? Here’s a simple activity on the light table that explores basic math concepts for Preschoolers. Where Imagination Grows, And Next Comes L, and Still Playing School are posting their ideas as well.
