Making Shapes- Circles and Squares - Lesson for Preschool, Chapter - Shapes

In the "Making Shapes- Circles and Squares" lesson, preschool students embark on an engaging journey into the world of early logic and geometry. This lesson, nestled within the Shapes chapter, is essential for young learners as it lays the foundational understanding of basic geometric shapes, namely circles and squares. Through activities such as the "Trace and Draw a Circle and a Square Worksheet" and "Practicing to Draw Circles and Squares Printable," students will learn not just to identify these shapes but to grasp their distinct characteristics and differences.

Understanding and recognizing shapes is crucial for cognitive development in preschoolers, as it enhances their ability to make logical connections and improves visual spatial awareness. This knowledge serves as a building block for more complex mathematical concepts and geometry in future learning. Moreover, mastering the skills to trace and draw these shapes fosters fine motor skills development and prepares students for writing. By engaging in these interactive activities, students will not only learn about circles and squares but will also develop a sense of accomplishment and confidence in their abilities to observe, compare, and create.

  • Activity 1 / Trace And Draw a Circle And a Square Worksheet

    With our new collection of free shape worksheets for preschoolers your children will learn quicker. 
    First they trace the circle, then pass to drawing it on their own. Starting at the firefly will make it even easier. Kids learn to recognize the shape and now they know that the circle is round. A colorful picture helps them remember the material better, for example, the ball is round too.
    In the second part of this worksheet children learn to draw a square. It has four equal parts and looks like a chess board.

  • Activity 2 / Practicing to Draw Circles And Squares Printable

    Learn shapes with your preschoolers. Use our free printable geometry worksheets. 
    Let's help our little funny Robot and revise shapes. First trace the Robot's face. Then help to draw the missing square shapes which will suddenly become the Robot's eyes. In the next part trace it again and draw the parts that are round. Make sure you remember the names of these shapes.
