• The teacher should ask the children to indicate objects around them, which has a basic rectangle shape.



• The children could start by "walking" the outline of the shape, which has been placed on the floor by the teacher.
• The children should each have the opportunity to trace the shape with their fingers in the sand of the sand box.
• The children should then hold hands, and form the shape, with their bodies.
• Each child should receive a stencil, andtrace it onto cardboard.

• Paint the shapes, and wait for it to dry.
