How to teach shapes: circles
on August 31st, 2010
I’m looking for fun ways to teach shapes – got any ideas for me?
We started our mission by eating a lunch of circles, easy to make a whole meal of circles once you start looking!

What a great idea! You could probably do this same thing with squares and rectangles as well: sandwiches, fat carrot sticks, cream crackers, fruit leather, etc.
Hi Bethany – you could indeed. I do know a child who insists on having her sandwiches shaped like dinosaurs which is altogether more complicated!
What a fun idea, I had no idea eating circles would be so easy but now that I see it done it does seem like you could find a lot of things. I’ll be curious to see if the other shapes are as easy to find. Don’t know too many triangle foods out there.
ooh, red ted learnt to say square & circle (in german) based on oatcake and jacobs cracker.. boys & stomachs, eh?!
Hi The Katies – I do remember some triangle shaped crisps from when I was young (Deltas?). I guess sandwiches, cheese and cucumber could be chopped into pretty much any shape. And there’s always pizza slices!
Hi Maggy, It is a fun way to learn
What a cute (and tasty) idea.
Thanks Lynn
