[15 Minutes]
Enjoy with your child exploring body parts that are made up of corners and curves. Shapes, such as circles, triangles, square, ovals, and rectangles are also made of corners and curves.
What to do:
- Ask your child to show you corners and curves on different shapes. Find corners and curves in the room and invite your child to trace them with a finger.
- Challenge your child to show you the parts of his body that have corners (elbow, knuckle, joint). Ask him to show you the parts that have curves (head, chin, ear).
- Discover which parts of his body he can make look like a circle, a triangle, and a square. Identify the corners and curves.
