Teaching Preschoolers and Toddlers Shapes

Once Christmas is over Granny Sherry will be continue teaching shapes to Payton. I plan on sharing the items she uses with my sister Debbie so she can teach Lily and Jason. I wanted to find books and worksheets they can use. I visited Amazon and found the following products and next week I plan on visiting the library to see if they have these items. I would like to remind you anyone can teach preschoolers and toddlers shapes. Just by taking the time to work with them each day.

Shapes

Discover all kinds of shapes in this bright and highly designed first concept board book.

Follow a curious fox and his little friend as he explores what fun objects circles, triangles, ovals and rectangles can make. An engaging, well designed way to introduce first shapes, this board book is perfect for little ones to read with their parents.

Shape By Shape

What am I?
I lived a long, long time ago.
I had round eyes…
lots of sharp teeth…

This new concept book from Caldecott Honor illustrator Suse MacDonald is sure to entertain children. As readers turn the brightly colored, die cut pages, shapes on each page come together to reveal a creature from long ago. Page by page, MacDonald’s bright, cut-paper, collage-style artwork transforms circles into eyes and triangles into scales until a familiar creature is revealed, with the aid of a large fold-out page, on the final spread.

This 9 X 9 jacketed hardcover has die-cut cardstock pages.

I have a question for you have you read these books to your children? if so what did you like about the books or dislike about the books and why? Are there other books or resources you think we should check into when teaching shapes?
