Drawing from geometric shapes is a task for preschool and primary school children that allows them to develop spatial imagination, knowledge of geometric shapes and improve motor drawing skills.
For your convenience, we have made coloring pages of geometric shapes that you can print and color (for preschoolers). After each coloring, an example of a drawing on the same topic is presented. Children complete the drawing independently using a ruler and color it with paints or pencils (for schoolchildren). Coloring pages and drawings are made on the following topics:
- "Air Transport"
- "Toys"
- Animals from geometric shapes “Cat and Mouse”
- "Transport"
- "House in the village"
- "Sea and Ship"
- "Railway"
- "Forest New Year's Tale"
- "Summer Glade"
- "Space flight"
Drawings of geometric shapes for children - lesson plan
- Start the lesson by finding out what geometric shapes the child remembers. He must confidently name and see circle (semicircle), oval, square, triangle and polygon . Older children will be able to see the broken line in the drawings.
- Find the geometric shapes in the picture. The more geometric shapes a child finds, the better. You can count them.
- Fill the coloring book with color or draw the selected composition. It is very good if the child goes further and draws his own elements of the picture.
Manuals and materials on the topic
You can cut all geometric shapes for children, their pictures, drawings or coloring pages into separate cards and study them together with your child. They can make a great applique.
All presented flat and three-dimensional figures for preschoolers are multi-colored and bright; any child will enjoy playing with them and learning about them.
Pictures, drawings and coloring pages of geometric shapes for kids are intended for both individual use and for group lessons in early childhood schools and kindergartens.
Activities with cards of geometric shapes develop your child’s horizons and allow you to learn the names and types of various shapes.
Add variety to your children's activities with a variety of geometric shapes flashcard games, e.g.
- you can look for objects similar to these geometric shapes in the house,
- print two versions with geometric shapes, cut one version into cards and attach to the other,
- You can also simply print out geometric shapes for preschoolers, cut them into cards and hang them around the rooms at the child’s eye level. Sometimes approach the cards and unobtrusively name the geometric shapes, and then, when you feel that the child has learned the information, ask him.
Come up with your own variations of the game.

Composition of geometric shapes drawing “Air transport”
Drawing of geometric shapes 1st grade - air transport. An airplane, a hot air balloon and a helicopter will pique the interest of boys. You can tell interesting facts about the structure of transport, its speed, the history of its creation and its role today.

Application
Applique can be an interesting type of work for children. You can cut out a circle or square and then have your child glue it onto the base. Shapes such as a square, oval, circle can become the basis for a small picture.
It will be interesting to glue three-dimensional figures from paper, for example, a parallelepiped or a cylinder. True, this will require thick cardboard, but children will learn that a parallelogram is based on a square, and a cylinder is based on a circle. The application will help develop children's creative abilities. The cylinder or parallelogram can later be used as a box for small toys.

Learning complex geometric shapes using simple ones: the benefits of activities for children
Geometric shapes, or composite shapes, are easier to learn through simple shapes. You need to cut out several squares, circles and triangles and fold them.
Examples of composing complex figures:
- Trapezoid: square + 2 triangles.
- Rectangle: 2 or more squares.
- Rhombus: 2 equal triangles.
- Parallelogram: 2 squares + 2 equal triangles.
The child must be fully involved in the learning process, otherwise the learning will be useless. Game-based learning is the best way to attract the student's attention and make the process interesting. By making discoveries on their own, the baby will want to continue learning.
