Stick Shapes ~ Activity Mat

Use this fun & engaging Stick Shapes Activity Mat in your child(ren)'s everyday play and learning.

Children will be challenged to use their fine motor control to manipulate loose parts (popsicle sticks, construction dough or slime) to create various shapes and designs on the Activity Mats.

 Included in this bundle:

• "How to Prep" & "How to Play" instructions.
• 10 pages of shape mats.
• Example photos to assist you in prep and play.
• Different ways to play the game and example ways to engage with your child(ren) during play.
• Beautiful & clear pictures.

Great for:

• Using the senses in new and exciting ways during play.
• Doing Pre-K and Kindergarten prep and learning through hands on play.
• Practicing shape layouts and their names.
• Plus much more!

 I recommend to:

1. Use various materials with the activity mats to expand the sensory play experience.
2. Review the shape names and layouts with your child(ren) before setting them free to explore and play themselves.
3. Expand the play by challenging your kiddo to look for shapes while out on adventures (Windows = Square. Shop Sign = Circle, etc).
4. Play the game! Enjoy and have fun!
