Using shapes to make jack-o-lanterns

We've had so much fun with shapes! This week, we made jack-o-lanterns with our shapes. We drew faces using our shapes.

This jack-o-lantern has triangle shapes...
This one has circles...
The nice thing about jack-o-lanterns is that you can make them however you like.

Then, we cut out shapes another day, to make these jack-o-lanterns. Again, they can be made however your preschooler chooses. They even got to pick the number of teeth he had.

This one has circle eyes, a triangle nose, and 4 teeth...
But this one has triangle eyes, a square nose, and only 3 teeth.
No matter how they are made, they all look great!! Not only did we use our understanding of shapes, but we used lots and lots of fine motor skills in both of these projects. I love activities like that!
