This product includes shape tracing worksheets for 12 distinct shapes, such as:

Each page features an apple themed tracing guide for each plane shape.

Students can start at the apple and trace around to the apple tree to complete each shape.

Then they can color in the word at the bottom to become acquainted with each shape word.

Each page is also available in a line art version if you need to save on color ink.

An awesome way to use these with students is to laminate them and then add math counters or playdough.

Students can place pompoms, mini erasers, or other counters on the page to complete each shape.

They can also use playdough to “build” each shape.

Apple Shape Activity Cards

This resource also includes apple shape activity cards with shape word labels!

Students can trace each shape around and then use the flashcards to memorize each shape name.

Then they can find the correct shape name label and match it to the right learning card.

I love to use hook and loop dots for this, because it makes the activity reusable for groups.
