The more ways you can get students involved in shapes, the better the chance of the recognition-light bulb finally going on.

lacing, free lacing cards, 2D shapes, 2D shape activities, 2D shape lessons, shapes, hexagon lessons, octagon lessons, pentagon lessons, shape crafts, shape centers, shape games, circle triangle rectangle square oval shape activities, , Lacing is fun for little ones, as well as an awesome fine motor skill.

These "Lace To Learn" shapes are quick and easy to make.

Simply run them off on card stock, laminate, trim and punch holes. 

Students can lace in and out through the holes with a long piece of yarn or ribbon with the tips taped, or a big shoestring is also fun.

Have children say the shape several times as they lace.

I've labeled the shapes with traceable words, so that tracing them with a dry erase marker is also great word reinforcement.

When students have completed their project, ask them to name 1 or 2 attributes that they discovered while they were lacing.
