Shape Chick

This is a fun, craft activity to help your child learn the names of some simple shapes.

You will need to make shapes from paper or card to create an Easter chick. You can draw them, colour them in, cut them out and then place and stick them in the correct places to make a cute chick for Easter.

Talk to your child about the shapes they need to make the chick.

You will need:

One medium circle for the head

One large circle for the body

Two small circles for the eyes

Two ovals for the wings

Three small triangles, two for the feet and one for the beak

If your child needs help to see the shape of the chick, you can draw an outline for them to see where to place each individual shape. Like this:

Finally, place the shapes in the correct positions and when your child is happy with their finished chick, stick them on.

When the chick is complete ask your child questions such as:

Which shape did you use for the head?

Which shape did you use for the beak?

Which is the biggest shape?

Which is the smallest shape?

Can you see an oval?

Where is the medium circle?

How many circles can you see?

Have fun with the activity and let us know how you got on by sending us your pictures to:
