Using store-bought cardboard shapes, or ones you have made yourself, kids of all ages can have fun making pictures. Use them over and over again on a table or glue them to paper for a permanent picture.

Time: 10 minutes with store-bought shapes
Age: Under 5's, 5-10's
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Cardboard shapes. I bought a pack of 'Corrugated shapes' from an art and craft store for $4 which contains various colours and shapes. You could easily make your own out of old cereal boxes and this could be part of the activity for an older child.

  • Cardboard shapes in assorted shapes and colours.


  • Paper. Only if you want to make permanent pictures.
  • Craft glue. Only if you want to make permanent pictures.

  • Method
  • Put all the shapes on a table.
  • If you have a young child you can talk about the shape and colour of each shape they pick up.
  • Older children can form realistic pictures using the shapes while younger children can have fun gluing the shapes to a piece of paper.

  • Younger kids will enjoy gluing cardboard shapes to paper.


    Here is a car that an older child could make with cardboard shapes.


  • Remember shapes can be overlapped to form new shapes. You can challenge older kids to come up with ways to make a shape they don't have using the ones they do.

  • A fish with a mouth formed by overlapping shapes.
