Wrap up the fun with Shape Matching Activity 6!
This printable worksheet invites children to connect unique shapes like octagon, pentagon, oval, and diamond with familiar real-world objects.
It’s a great way to improve shape recognition, visual perception, and fine motor coordination while keeping learning hands-on and enjoyable.
What’s Inside Shape Matching Activity 6
Children explore four geometric shapes and their matching everyday objects:
- Octagon → Umbrella
- Pentagon → Pencil tip
- Oval → Rugby ball
- Diamond (Rhombus) → Kite
Each match encourages observation and logical thinking as kids look for visual similarities between shapes and the items they see in daily life.
The large, simple illustrations make this worksheet perfect for preschoolers and kindergarten learners who are practicing shape identification.
How to Use This Printable
- Print on A4 or US Letter paper.
- Have your child look carefully at the shapes on the left.
- Find the matching object on the right and draw a line to connect them.
- Encourage children to say each shape name aloud — “Octagon,” “Pentagon,” “Oval,” “Diamond.”
- Add a creative twist by letting them color the shapes and objects after matching.
You can extend the activity by searching for real-life examples — a stop sign (octagon), a ball (oval), or a kite (diamond).
This helps children recognize that geometric forms appear everywhere around them.
