This is the second set of geometric shapes for kids printables I have shared with you that displays snowmen and snow globes. The first focused on building the snow globe shape with craft sticks. You will notice that this set focuses on building shape words as the puzzle is put together. There is the option of having your children view the shape words horizontally or vertically. It will be up to you do decide which way you want your children to view the words.
If you haven’t explored shape names with your kids, you may want to read one of the geometric shape books below. It will help build an understanding of each of the shapes.

You can decide if you want to make this a long lasting center activity or one-time activity.
Long Lasting Center Activity
You can laminate the puzzles you want your children to use. Then you can cut out each puzzle piece. Your children can put the pieces together to complete each puzzle over and over again.
Hint: You can place small magnetic pieces on the back of the pieces. Your children can then arrange them in order metal cookie tray.
One-Time Activity
You or your children can cut out puzzle piece strips. Then you can have them glue the pieces in order onto a piece of construction paper. If you prefer, you can have your children leave the pieces unglued so they can do their puzzle over and over again.
