Keep building shape knowledge with Shape Matching Activity 3!
This free printable worksheet encourages children to match shapes with real-world objects, helping them understand how geometric forms appear all around them — from toys to food and everyday items.
Through drawing lines and coloring, kids practice visual discrimination, fine motor coordination, and early problem-solving, all while having fun.
What’s Inside Shape Matching Activity 3
On this page, children will find four shapes on the left and matching objects on the right:
- Rectangle → Money
- Oval → Balloon
- Triangle → Slice of watermelon
- Circle → Wheel
Kids draw a line from each shape to its matching object.
The large, easy-to-recognize illustrations and clean layout make this activity perfect for preschoolers and kindergarten learners.
It’s a gentle introduction to how shapes exist in the world — helping children see connections between abstract forms and concrete things.
How to Use This Printable
- Print on A4 or US Letter paper.
- Give children a crayon or pencil to draw lines connecting each shape with its matching object.
- Encourage them to say each shape name aloud — “Rectangle, Oval, Triangle, Circle.”
- Let kids color the shapes and objects for extra creativity.
- Extend the learning: look around the house or classroom and find more examples of each shape — like doors (rectangle), oranges (circle), and lampshades (oval).
This simple hands-on approach builds confidence and focus while making early geometry fun and interactive.
Learning Benefits
