Shape Week
Welcome to Shape Week!
This week, make your own shape sensory bin, decorate Christmas trees and stick shapes to a window.
Book and Rhyme of the Week
Walter's Wonderful Web is such a cute way to introduce your toddler to shapes. And sing the Shape Song.
Sensory Play
This week's sensory play is a shape sorting bin. Put any shapes you can find in a container with rice and encourage your toddler to fish them out. Add to the fun by getting them to match the shapes in a muffin tin.
Low on shapes? Cut up some shapes out of foam (you'll need these for the next 2 activities anyway) and add to the sensory bin.
Active Play
This sounds simple but I promise it will be a hit with your toddler! Fill up a spray bottle with water and cut up some foam into shapes. Encourage your toddler to spray water and stick on the shapes to a window or plastic/glass door.
We didn't have any foam so bought a small pack here for this week's activities.
Arts & Crafts
Keep those foam shapes as you'll need them again for our arts & crafts activity this week! Cut out a piece of green card in the shape of a tree and get your toddler to stick the shapes to it using PVA glue.

What You'll Need Next Week
Next week you'll need (bear with me) conditioner, baking soda, coloured paper, and glue. And our activity will be making gingerbread so check out a recipe and buy those ingredients!
