Find and Color the Cubes

Set out a ball, a block, a can and a party hat and let your child hold each one while you say its name. Then read the Instructions aloud and have your child point to each solid before they color, circle or count.

Color every cube in 5 rows of solids with spheres, cones and cylinders mixed in, then write how many. The directions on the page read: Look at the cube at the top. Color every cube in each row. Then, count the cubes in the row and write the number in the box. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten shapes, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with 3d shapes. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Kindergarteners name the cube, sphere, cone and cylinder. CCSS K.G.A.2 asks them to name a shape whatever its size and whichever way it is turned, so these pages show each solid big and small, standing up and lying down.

Hand your child a block, a ball and a can. A cube has flat square faces and stacks, a sphere is round all over and rolls every way, and a cylinder has 2 flat circles and rolls on its side. Then do the find and color pages, naming each solid out loud.

No. Children answer with colors, circles, lines and numerals, so an adult only needs to read the Instructions aloud. Solids on the real objects pages are labeled with their names.

Yes. Each of the 11 sheets has an answer key that shows every colored or circled solid and each count.
