About these shapes worksheets
Shapes are everywhere, from road signs to pizza slices. On these sheets, kids read or hear a shape name and circle that shape from a small set. The shapes are drawn clearly with bold outlines, so they're easy to tell apart on paper and on a tablet.
Preschool pages stick to circles, squares, triangles, stars and hearts. Kindergarten adds rectangles, ovals and diamonds, and first and second grade bring in pentagons, hexagons and octagons. Older levels paint the shapes in different colors, so kids learn that color doesn't change a shape.
