Teach your toddler or preschooler basic 2D shapes with this spring themed worksheet!  Your little one will learn about circles, triangles, and squares.  Just print, cut out, & and sort the shapes with this cute shapes matching worksheet!  Grab this low-prep activity below!

A few months back, while focusing on the Letter F in Tot School, I made a shape sorting activity using some printable flowers and a little free hand action.  Little Sis was to sort the flowers to the right vase by matching the shapes.

My little girl loved this and so I thought I'd try my hand at making it into an activity to share with you!

WAYS TO USE THIS SHAPE MATCHING WORKSHEET

• This low-prep matching activity can be made into a file folder game by attaching velcro to the flowers stems.
• Use this printable one time and have your little one glue the flowers to the correct vase.
• Encourage visual discrimination by matching the flowers to the correct vase, but have one flower in each vase mixed up.  Can your child find ''what is wrong'' with the shapes?

MATCHING WORKSHEET FOR TODDLERS & PRESCHOOLERS

Once you have printed out the worksheets, take some time to prep the activity by cutting out each individual flower.  No need to cut exactly along the edge of the flower-- a simple circle cut will do just fine!

There are 9 flowers all together; 3 of each shape.  

Your child's task is to match the flowers to the correct vase.  

Each vase will have three flowers- one of each color.

Each vase has a shape on it; one has a triangle, one has a square, and one has a circle.  This hands-on activity is a great way to introduce and teach your child basic 2D shapes!

As your child is matching each flower to a vase, talk about the attributes of each shape.  

A circle is curved and has no starting or end point.

A triangle has three corners and three sides.

A square has four corners and four equal sides.

If your child is up for the challenge, extend learning by having him/her find an object in the room that is a circle, triangle, and/or square!

With some trial and error, I have made my 1st printable that you can use with your little(s)!  I do hope you enjoy!  Please feel free to share my blog post to spread the word.
