Lego Matching Shape

 

I made the resources using old Lego, then I drew the shape on the cardboard.

 This activity encourage children practice many learning opportunities such as:

· fine motor control

· hand and eye coordination

· concentration and problem solving

· simple sorting and matching by shapes

· early counting

 

By figuring out how to put each piece into its proper mark, children learn to categorise and eventually name shapes. It will challenge their thinking and exercise their minds.

 

The area I am developing through this activity is to help children get to know shapes and develop early counting skills.
