Add some creativity to your shape lessons with this fun and hands-on 2D Shapes Craftivity Worksheet. This activity encourages students to explore, recognise, and count common 2D shapes while designing their own picture using cut-out shape pieces.

Students begin by cutting out the 2D shape pieces provided on the template. They then use those pieces to build a picture of their choice, gluing the shapes onto the worksheet. Once complete, students count how many of each shape they used—triangles, squares, rectangles, circles, and trapezoids—and record the totals at the bottom of their page.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify and name basic 2D shapes
• ✅ Create and represent using shapes
• ✅ Count and record quantities of different shapes
• ✅ Engage in creative, hands-on learning experiences

What’s Included:

• 2D shape templates for students to cut out
• Craftivity worksheet with recording section
