Finish your shape-matching adventure with Shape Matching Activity 5!
This printable worksheet challenges children to connect more advanced shapes with real-world objects they recognize, such as a stop sign, party hat, or chocolate bar.
It’s a hands-on way to build shape recognition, visual discrimination, and fine motor coordination.
What’s Inside Shape Matching Activity 5
This activity includes four shapes on the left and matching everyday items on the right:
- Hexagon → Spider web
- Octagon → Stop sign
- Triangle → Party hat
- Rectangle → Chocolate
Children draw lines from each shape to its matching object, practicing observation and control as they work.
The clear, minimal design ensures focus stays on tracing and recognition — ideal for preschoolers and kindergarten learners.
How to Use This Printable
- Print on A4 or US Letter paper.
- Ask children to study each shape carefully on the left.
- Find the matching object on the right and draw a connecting line.
- Say each shape aloud while matching — “Hexagon,” “Octagon,” “Triangle,” “Rectangle.”
- Encourage kids to color the shapes and objects after completing their matches for an extra creative touch.
You can extend the activity by finding real examples around your home or classroom — like stop signs outside, slices of cake (triangle), or a picture frame (rectangle).
This makes shape learning both practical and exciting.
Learning Benefits
