Teaching Shapes using Food

Here's a good idea. Children, in general loves food, especially those sweet and cute ones. So, in order to attract them and assimilate what they are about to learn, we could use food. Below are some examples:

1) Bread Snack Shapes
1.1) Cut bread into shapes and ask them to eat the shapes.
1.2) Create a mix of squares and triangles and ask the pupils to eat the squares first.
Not only they will eat a lot of bread in this way, but will also learn to differentiate between a square and a triangle.
1.3) For an added variation, cut cheese into shapes as well to make shape sandwiches.

2) Cereal Shape Sorting
Have your pupils sort shapes using brand cereals such as:

2.1) Squares: Chex, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or Captain Crunch
2.2) Circles: Cheerios, Fruit Loops, or Apple Jacks
2.3) Rectangles: Frosted Mini Wheat
2.4) Then use the cereal as a special snack time treat!

3) Graham Cracker Snack
3.1) Use graham crackers at snack time to teach rectangles.
3.2) Break the graham crackers in half to create squares.
3.3) Let your pupils spread their graham crackers with peanut butter, cream cheese, or other tasty treat.
