Materials:
Half of a 9x11 piece of
     paper(4.5x5.5)
Bright colored marker
Glue stick
1x9” strip of paper
     different color
      than ½ sheet

Instructions:
      Take the ½ sheet of paper (any color)and draw a large shape on it with a bold colored marker of contrasting color. A circle might be the easiest to start. Use the word for the shape. You may even want to trace it with your finger. Talk about “in the circle” and “out of the circle”.
      Use the glue stick and spread glue all over the inside of the shape.
      Let your child tear pieces off the contrasting color  1x9” strip of paper and stick the torn pieces “in” the shape.
      This activity can be down repeatedly with all different shapes.
      If you keep the ½ sheets of paper consistent, you could put the sheets together into a SHAPE BOOK.
      Label each page with the word of the shape using the marker.
