My First Shapes Hop

Shapes for kindergarten and preschool have never been this fun!

My First Shapes Hop is a colorful floor material that helps preschool and kindergarten students learn shapes. With this mat or sticker, learning shapes becomes a fun, hands on activity. Kinesthetic lessons keep young students excited about learning preschool and kindergarten shapes!

At 177 inches long and 38 inches wide, My First Shapes depicts and names a circle, square, triangle, rectangle, half circle, rhombus, kite, and trapezoid. The bright colors and large shape pictures are sure to attract visual learners and keep them engaged.

Young students will excel at identifying, describing, tracing, and drawing shapes as they move their bodies. Physical activity, such as walking on the shapes mat or sticker, increases blood flow and oxygen in the brain, which improves learning comprehension and memory retention.

No more sitting still during math! Encourage movement while teaching preschool and kindergarten shapes. Movement will also help young children develop their fine motor skills.

Students will develop shape recognition and become confident in their geometry knowledge as a result of practice on this mat or sticker!

Introduce preschool shapes by having students identify the shapes as they jump down the mat or sticker. Play a game with kindergarten students where they recreate the shapes with popsicle sticks or pipe cleaners.
