Help the children visualize 3-D shapes by taking apart some cardboard boxes and putting them back together again. A cube-shaped tissue box is a good place to start. Gather enough boxes so each child in small group can have one. Carefully undo the boxes so that they remain intact. Show the box to the children and ask what they think it might be. Point out the shape of the sides of the box. Encourage them to try to put their boxes back together. Repeat with other types of boxes. This can be done in small group.
