Finish your shape-matching journey with Shape Matching Activity 8!
This fun printable invites children to pair four unique shapes—heart, diamond, crescent, and octagon—with familiar objects from everyday life.
It’s a great way to strengthen shape recognition, visual memory, and fine motor coordination while encouraging focus and creativity.
What’s Inside Shape Matching Activity 8
This worksheet includes four geometric shapes on the left and their matching real-world items on the right:
- Heart → Balloon
- Diamond (Rhombus) → Arrow sign
- Crescent → Croissant (moon shape)
- Octagon → Trampoline
Children draw lines from each shape to its matching object, practicing observation and precision as they complete the page.
The clear layout makes it perfect for preschool and kindergarten learners who are ready to explore more advanced shapes.
How to Use This Printable
- Print on A4 or US Letter paper.
- Ask children to study each shape carefully on the left side.
- Find the matching object on the right and draw a line to connect them.
- Say each shape name aloud—“Heart,” “Diamond,” “Crescent,” “Octagon”—to reinforce vocabulary.
- Once finished, invite kids to color the shapes and objects for added creativity.
You can extend the activity by looking for real-life examples together: heart-shaped balloons, moon crescents, or stop signs with eight sides.
This helps children understand that geometric forms exist everywhere in their world.
