About this worksheet
A free printable cut and paste shapes worksheet for preschool: twelve circles, squares and triangles in different sizes, colors and turns. Kids cut them out and glue each one in the right row, which shows that a turned or smaller triangle is still a triangle. Page 2 shows the sorted rows. It is made for pre-K and preschool, roughly ages 4 to 5, with big pictures and one number per page.
Tips for using it
- Count the corners with a finger, touching each one, so none are counted twice.
- A square is a special rectangle: four equal sides and four square corners.
- Turn the page around: a shape is the same shape even when it is rotated.
- Say the pattern out loud in a sing-song voice (circle, square, circle, square) before drawing the next shape.
