FAQs on Fun Colouring of Basic Shapes
1. What games parents can play with kids to teach them basic shapes?
Kids like to learn while playing. Hence, parents and teachers can teach them shapes by playing some fun activities with their kids. For example, If you have a group of children, you can show them an object and ask them the name of the shape and the one who will reply fast will be the winner. Similarly, you can create your games to play with your child and teach them shape.
2. Why do kids need to colour shapes on colouring pages?
When kids are very young, they know what a shape looks like but they do not know the name and features of a particular shape. Directly teaching them the name of the shape will not be remembered for a long time in memory of a child. So when you play some games of colouring shapes, they easily remember the names and properties of a shape.
