Build a Snowman 2D Shape Activity

A grown-up names the shapes with younger children. Children cut out the pieces, glue matching heads and bodies, write the shape names, then build and tally their own snowman. Use in a winter shapes unit.

Three pages after the cover. Page 1 has four dashed snowmen with Head shape and Body shape lines to write. Page 2 has pieces to cut out: heads and bodies in circle, square, triangle, rectangle, hexagon, oval and star, plus hats, scarves and carrot noses. Page 3 is a build-your-own snowman box with a tally and number for each shape. The answer key shows page 1 with the shape names filled in.

1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Preschool to 1st Grade students, roughly ages 4-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool to 1st Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
