We’ve been having a blast with our knights and castles unit. We’ve been reading tons of books, building cardboard play castles , and even turning into fire breathing dragons. I decided that I need to do a craft that would help Loopy with shape recognition. This castle craft fit the bill nicely.
One craft we did was a shape castle. I got the idea from a couple images on Pinterest (specifically “Storytime Katie” and “The Ramblings and Adventures of a SAHM“) I cut a bunch of shapes out. Then I showed Loopy an example of how he might want to lay it out. I scrambled it all up and let his glue stick do the work.
