My daughter did a program at the library working on learning things like this. For shapes, they did a restuarant menu and created food choices representing the different shapes (for example: a slice of pizza was a triangle, toast was a square, an egg was oval, etc…). The children made menus drawing the shapes, the parents labeled the menu, then they cut out shapes based on the food. When they bought this “homework” to the class, the preschoolers did a role play of the restaruant ordering food food off the menu and the pretend waiter broght the shape of the food ordered to the table.
