What Can You Make with a Circle?


What can you make with a circle? Draw circles on paper, a chalkboard, or on the sidewalk and challenge your child to make them into as many things as possible. I saw this idea on NurtureStore and couldn't want to try it. 


First, B made Wonder Woman (bottom left) and then made different pizzas and pancakes (that's what he called them). 


Then we really got into it and got creative! Balloons, faces, animals, wheels, donuts, etc. This was a fun activity to do together! It would also be a great activity to do on a magnadoodle in the car or while waiting at a restaurant.

  3. Great idea. We've been working with circles but they are still so hard for Logan to draw himself. This is a great way to practice the shape without forcing him to make a perfect circle himself... and to get him thinking about where circles appear in real life.
