Linky Shapes from the Dollar Tree

I'm quite fond of popping in the Dollar Tree to find some good deals.  I saw these in the toy aisle and grabbed 5 packs.  There are so many activities you can do with them.

Just some of the ways we have been exploring with them:

Sort them by color

Sort them by shape

String them together

Create Patterns

Make necklaces

Make bracelets

Use them to measure lengths

 



 

I placed some on my copier and made some pattern cards for the kids to follow too.

 

 

I covered them in clear contact paper so they would last a little longer. 

 

These are a great deal.  If you have a Dollar Tree near you, go grab some.  Your kiddos will gain some great skills using them....counting, patterning, color recognition, fine motor, problem solving, creativity....for cheap, cheap!
