Rectangle Flashcard for Preschoolers
A square’s long cousin: four sides, four corners, stretched out wide. Doors, books, tables and screens are rectangles, so this is the shape your child has been touching all day without knowing its name.
What this shape card does
Names the stretched-out shape your child opens, closes and climbs over all day.
Shape hunt
Tour the kitchen for rectangles and finish at the biggest one — the fridge door.
What kids learn from it
Telling long sides from short ones — comparing two things on one shape.
How to print it
A5 taped to the fridge door suits this one nicely.
Tip for today
Trace long side, short side, long side with one slow finger.
