Circle Hunt Collage Activity

Take your preschooler on an adventurous “hunt” for circle shapes. Use old magazines for your preschooler’s hunting ground. Your preschooler will get a kick out of identifying circle shapes in magazines, cutting them out and creating a circle collage masterpiece to proudly display on the wall or refrigerator. Not only will the circle hunt activity, help your preschooler with shape recognition, but the cutting process is a great way to work on hand to eye coordination, motor skills and scissor control.

What You Will Need

Magazines

Kid’s Safety Scissors

Glue

Piece of Construction Paper

What to Do

Step 1:

Have your preschooler flip through the pages of the magazines and identify circle shapes.

Step 2:

After your preschooler identifies a circle shape, have him/her cut it out. Younger preschoolers may need assistance with cutting.

Step 3:

Once all the circle shapes have been cut out, have your preschooler glue them to a piece of construction paper.

Step 4:

Hang your completed circle collage on the wall or refrigerator so your preschooler can look at it often, reinforcing his/her ability to recognize circle shapes!

Circle Hunt Collage Activity Variation

*Use this activity to reinforce recognition of all shapes. Have your preschooler “hunt” for squares, triangles and rectangles too!

*Instead of making a collage with magazines, "hunt" around the house with your preschooler to identify circles or other shapes in household items like the circular shape of doorknobs, square couch cushions, a rectagular kitchen table, etc.
