Shape Sorting Cupcakes

A delicious way to encourage shape and color identification and build fine motor skills! These two-part cupcakes from Learning Resources pull apart to reveal a shape. Children must match up the shapes to put them back together. There is also a shape at the bottom of the pan to match as well. Shapes include circle, square, triangle, rectangle, diamond, hexagon, star, and heart.

Skill development includes:

• Basic Concepts - Supports school readiness with exploration and identification of colors. Students can learn primary colors (blue, red, yellow) and secondary colors (orange, green, purple) with the cupcakes.
• Fine Motor - Hand-eye coordination is encouraged as students fit the cupcakes into the pan.
• Math - Counting the number of sides to a shape and sorting cupcakes teaches the concept of attributes.
• Common Core State Standards Alignment: 2-D Shapes, Measurement & Data

Each cupcake measures 2" H x 1.5" D. Recommended for ages 18 months+.
