Shapes Cutting, Pasting, and Sorting Pages – Printables

M was SO into his ABC cutting and pasting collage pages that I had to come up with something similar to keep him from going through the entire alphabet in a month. So, this is what I came up with for him… (This is his finished collage for the “square” page.)

I made a set of cutting and pasting shape collage pages. And then I realized this would be a fun sorting activity also!

I’ve made two sets of printables; one is for cutting and pasting, as M did in the above picture, the other is for sorting: (I’m thinking this will be perfect in our pocket chart).

It’s fun to use real, every day objects to show children how shapes are all around us. :)

Shapes Cut-and-paste Collage Pages
(You’ll see is a lot of space between the pictures on these pages. This is so the child will have plenty of room for cutting.)

The Art Box – January 4, 2010

No Art Box again this week… lots of family things going on.  We (extended family) tend to celebrate Christmas for a long, long time.  The last get-together is next Sunday; after that I hope to regain my sanity get back to blogging on a regular basis (including comments, my dear, neglected, and patient bloggy-friends).

M also discovered paint-with-water books and that was his “art” of choice, argh. (There are around 40 in this pile – most of which were done within a 2 day period.)

Art around here may never be the same again, sigh.  It was like an addiction – especially the screaming, floor-pounding, raving tantrum when there were no more pictures to paint.  And the insisting that we could run to Target right now (!!) to get some.  Oh, it’s 15 degrees below zero right now?  But why on earth would that be a reason to stay in our warm home if there are no paint-with-water pictures there??

Anyway (see how I always have something to say even when there’s no real post to write?) – I thought I’d put the linky up in case any of you had some art to share. :)  Link up below!

Have a beautiful day! :)
