Let’s keep the shape adventure going with Shape Matching Activity 4!
In this worksheet, children explore more complex shapes — pentagon, hexagon, diamond, and square — and match them with familiar objects from everyday life.
It’s a perfect activity for developing visual perception, logical thinking, and fine motor control in a playful way.
What’s Inside Shape Matching Activity 4
This printable introduces four geometric shapes and their matching real-world examples:
- Pentagon → Birdhouse
- Hexagon → Nut
- Diamond (Rhombus) → Gem or kite
- Square → Biscuit
Children draw a line from each shape to the matching object, practicing both observation and pencil coordination.
The neat layout and clear illustrations make it ideal for preschool and kindergarten learners who are ready to explore shapes beyond the basics.
How to Use This Printable
- Print on A4 or US Letter paper.
- Ask your child to study each shape carefully on the left.
- Find the matching object on the right and draw a connecting line.
- Encourage them to say the name of each shape aloud as they work — “Pentagon,” “Hexagon,” “Diamond,” “Square.”
- For more fun, let children color the shapes and objects once they’ve matched them all.
After finishing, you can extend the lesson by looking around your home or classroom for real examples — a stop sign for octagons, a kite for diamonds, or a tile for squares.
Learning Benefits
This worksheet supports multiple areas of early development:
- Builds shape recognition and geometry awareness
- Strengthens fine motor skills and hand–eye coordination
- Encourages critical thinking and attention to detail
- Helps with language development as children name shapes aloud
- Offers a screen-free, engaging activity suitable for home or school
By matching these shapes with objects, children begin to understand how geometry appears in the real world — from food to toys and buildings.
