Solid Shapes Solid Shapes Solid Shapes

Say that three times fast! :) 

We've been having so much fun this week working on solid shapes!!!!

We sorted food! 2D shapes and 3D shapes!

If you need a list of food, here's what we used: 

Square- saltine

Circle- Tostitos tortilla chip

Triangle- Dorito

Rectangle- stick of gum

Cone- Hershey Kiss

Cylinder- marshmallow & penne pasta

Sphere- Kix cereal

Rectangular prism- those (delicious) wafer cookies

Cube- you could use a caramel square but I chose not to do that for the sake of cavities & dentists everywhere ;) 

We created models of cubes and pyramids. (When the kids needed their supplies, they HAD to say "May I please have some edges" or "May I please have my vertices." If they said marshmallows or toothpicks I walked away. ;-) 

I got a great tip on Instagram too! Let the marshmallows dry out for a few days before the project and they won't fall over (like ours did!)! Thanks @angieolson777 !

And then we labeled both activities using my all time favorite app, Skitch.

Here are some great resources if you're looking for some solid shapes units!

Hope you're having a great week! We're off to celebrate Abby's 2 year anniversary of making it to our forever home! Two weeks ago today we randomly took a walk in the neighborhood and came home with this big fat pretty girl! To celebrate, we donated to our favorite charity CorgiPals, and she's getting a hot dog for dinner! (Am I the only one that celebrates stuff like this with their dogs!?!?! I can't be alone, right!?!?! ;-)
