Superhero Shapes

My son loves superheroes! What 3yr old boy doesn't!? His favorite are the Marvel characters Spiderman and The Avengers. I decided to incorporate his love for superheroes with his love of learning and created some very simple shapes for him. Each shape has a character or symbol on it from the Marvel comics. With the help of superheroes, he has learned all the major shapes: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, star, heart, oval, and diamond.

You can look online and find clipart or black & white images of your child's favorite characters, (ie. Spiderman, My Little Pony, Chuck & Friends, Strawberry Shortcakes etc.) and cut & paste them onto cardstock. If you have laminating capabilities, that would help! If not, (I do not) you can use clear  packing tape and it will make a similar effect. This can be something you do together as a project (if you print black & white images he can help color them) or you can do it on your own.  Either way, he will love it and learn his shapes quickly!

My son liked the black & white look so ours are not colored.

Here's Samuel naming all his shapes!

Bye for now,
