Felt board Shapes Matching Game

I don't know about you, but when I need to get things done around my house, my son's high chair is my best friend. Now don't get me wrong, I am not trying to lock him in there un-entertained. This activity kept him busy while helping him learn shapes, and I was able to mop my floor. A huge victory as far as I am concerned ;0)

1. Go to a craft or fabric store and buy some felt. You can usually find 8 x 11 felt sheets for 30 cents or so. Buy 1 for your canvas, and get 6 different colors for your shapes. 

2. Draw out some shapes on paper (preferably card stock or card board if you have it) to make shape templates. Any shapes will do-circle,square, rectangle, star, etc. I made 6 as they fit well on my canvas.

3. Trace each shape on your canvas so your child has an outline to match the shapes on. 

4. Cut each different shape in a different color

Viola! You have a shape matching game that will keep him occupied while mastering shapes!
