Hide ‘n’ Seek Geometric Shapes

Why

Create, hide, find, and name shapes! Kids make their own no-mess learning game with Crayola® Color Wonder™.


Steps

1. Tear Crayola Color Wonder Paper into various shapes, such as squares, circles, and triangles.

2. Attach shapes onto a second piece of Color Wonder Paper using a Crayola Glue Stick. Glue the shapes so the special Color Wonder side faces up. (Make a small dot with a Color Wonder Marker to be sure.)

3. Draw and color a design on top of your shapes using Color Wonder Markers. Cover the entire paper with your design. Try to hide the paper shapes.

4. Now can you find your hidden shapes? What are the shape names? Share your Geometric Hide 'n' Seek with your family and friends.
