Shapes for kindergarten and preschool have never been this fun!

The My First Shapes Hop makes it possible to teach preschool and kindergarten shapes with movement! This mat or sticker allows young students to get on their feet and move while participating in shape activities. Shapes for kindergarteners and preschoolers become an energetic and fun lesson!

The My First Shapes Hop depicts and names a circle, square, triangle, rectangle, half circle, rhombus, kite, and trapezoid. The bright colors and large shape graphics are sure to attract visual learners.

The My First Shapes Hop is available as a vinyl floor mat or a floor sticker, so you can choose the one that best suits your class’s needs. Our heavy-duty vinyl floor mats can easily be rolled up and stored away. Alternatively, to create a more permanent shapes diagram in your school, you can choose between our regular sticker for smooth floors or our carpet-friendly option.

Preschool and kindergarten students will excel at identifying, describing, tracing, and drawing shapes as they interact with this material. Both the mat and the sticker size have plenty of space for multiple students to learn together.

Furthermore, lots of shape activities for preschoolers and kindergarteners are possible with this product. Check out our activity database to see our ideas and additional resources.

Young students never like to sit still for long. So why not encourage movement while teaching preschool and kindergarten shapes?

Physical activity increases blood flow and oxygen in the brain. In turn, this improves learning comprehension and memory retention.

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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How does kinesthetic learning work with the My First Shapes Hop?

The My First Shapes Hop mat or sticker brings kinesthetic learning to the classroom by encouraging young students to jump, step, trace, and move as they learn basic shapes. This physical activity engages learners, especially those who understand new concepts best by touching or experiencing them. This product makes early geometry an active, tactile lesson, whereas traditional math lessons are sedentary and only auditory and visual.

What are the benefits of using the My First Shapes Hop with preschool and kindergarten students?

Young students never like to sit still for long. The My First Shapes Hop presents basic shapes to students on a large scale, beyond the size of a worksheet on a desktop. With our products, students can move around while still learning new lessons. Physical activity helps improve learning comprehension and memory retention since the brain is more active while the body moves! Our eye-catching products and game-like activities work to fully engage students. Plus, movement-based learning allows young students to further develop their motor skills.

How does the My First Shapes Hop help students develop motor skills?

When young students step or hop on the material, they develop their gross motor skills, balance, and coordination. When students trace or build the shapes on the material, they develop their fine motor skills by using their hands.

Can the My First Shapes Hop be used for group activities?

Yes! The floor mat version of this product is 38 inches wide and 177 inches long. The sticker version of this product is 26 inches wide and 85 inches long. That is plenty of space for multiple students to interact with the My First Shapes Hop at the same time! Here’s an example of a group activity using the My First Shapes Hop:

Match It

Have students find objects around the room that match a shape on the mat. Pair students up if necessary.
If able, have students bring their objects to the matching shape and place them on the mat. For instance, a student finds a tissue box, places it on the rectangle, and says, “The tissue box is a rectangle.”
If the object is too large, the student can stand on the shape on the mat and call out the object they found that matches. For example, a student spots the clock, stands on the circle, and says, “A clock is a circle.”

Are there additional resources available to use with the My First Shapes Hop?
