Show the children a 2-D shape. Next, challenge the children to explore the classroom to find a 3-D object that is that same shape. For example, a child might use a tissue box as an example of a rectangle. Talk to the children about the attributes of each object. Keep playing with different shapes. This could be done in large group.
