Collect objects of various shapes, such as a circular bottle lid, a box of rectangular playing cards, a triangular piece of cheese, and a long toy building brick. Place the objects on top of the pizza box and trace around them with a pencil. Use a utility knife to cut out the shapes and bring the box -- along with the objects -- to class. One child at a time can try to match each object with its corresponding hole and put all the objects in a box. Through this activity, children will become familiarized with different shapes of everyday objects.
Young children must learn how to tidy up a room and also understand the benefits of having items arranged in a certain way. Bring transparent plastic storage boxes to class. Draw or download pictures of a drawing pen, a toy, and an eraser, for example. Cut out the pictures from the paper sheets, apply glue on their back, and stick one picture on each box. The reason you use pictures instead of words is because children of this age cannot read yet. Scatter several items in the middle of the classroom and ask children to place the items on their corresponding box.
Give a shoe box to each student. Instruct them that they have to create a train using these boxes, with every box representing a wagon. However, all of the train's wagons must have the same design, while kids must also determine who gets to make the locomotive, cargo vehicles and passenger vehicles. Students can use crayons, markers, or even glue construction paper on the box to decorate each wagon. This activity promotes team work, as children have to collaborate to complete the task.
Apply sticky tape around a shoe box to keep the lid firmly shut. Open a three-inch diameter hole on one of the box's smaller sides. Put an item into a box, such as a toy car or a die, and place the box on a desk, with the hole facing up. Children must take turns inserting their hand into the box, touching the item and guessing what the object is. It is a sensory game that allows children to develop the sense of touch.
