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.
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!
ooh, red ted learnt to say square & circle (in german) based on oatcake and jacobs cracker.. boys & stomachs, eh?!
Hi Maggy, It is a fun way to learn
What a cute (and tasty) idea.
Thanks Lynn
