My First Shapes Hop Mat

Shapes for kindergarten and preschool have never been this fun!

My First Shapes Hop Mat is a colorful floor mat that helps preschool and kindergarten students learn shapes. With this mat, learning and teaching shapes becomes a physical, interactive lesson. Kinesthetic activities and games keep preschool and kindergarten classes excited about learning basic shapes!

At 177 inches long and 38 inches wide, My First Shapes Hop depicts and names a circle, square, triangle, rectangle, half circle, rhombus, kite, and trapezoid. Preschool and kindergarten students will excel at identifying, describing, tracing, and drawing shapes as they move their bodies on the mat. Movement will also help students 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!

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

Many kindergarten and preschool shape activities are possible with this mat. Check out our activity database to see our ideas and additional resources! Kids learning a variety of shapes will appreciate unique, energetic math activities.
