Shapes

Find shapes inside complete pictures, from broad balloon and birdhouse outlines to castles, robots, trains and patterned nature scenes. Start with fewer, larger areas or choose a scene with more small sections; name matching shapes and repeat their colors after printing.

Find shapes in a character or in the sky

Compare the small controls on the robot with the larger outlines of the kites.

A smiling robot with round eyes and hands, a triangular nose and geometric shapes on its chest panel.

Find the controls

The geometric robot has a separate chest panel. Work on its six shapes before the rest of the body.

Three smiling kites shaped as a triangle, square and diamond, with bow-tied tails under clouds.

Three kite outlines

The triangle, square and diamond-shaped kites are separated by open sky. Choose them when you want larger spaces than the robot controls.

Give the chest controls three colors

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.

Digital coloring example

White robot with red circle and squares, yellow star and blue triangle on its chest.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Red circle and squares
  • 2. Yellow star
  • 3. Blue triangle
  1. Inside the chest panel, color the circle and all three squares red.
  2. Color the star yellow, working carefully into each point.
  3. Color the triangle blue. Leave the rest of the robot white.

All six chest shapes are colored; the three round buttons below remain white. Tell someone what each control might do.
