Benefits of Tracing Shapes:
- Hands-on activities are essential. Tracing allows children to explore shapes.
- Relate shapes to real-world objects to make learning more meaningful. For example, a pizza is round (circle), a door is rectangular, and a gift box is frequently a square.
- Encourage creativity. Let children draw, color, and create their own shapes.
