Description
Give children a hands-on way to explore 2D geometry with the Shape Bag — a versatile teaching resource built for Early Years and Key Stage 1 classrooms. The drawstring bag holds 10 assorted foam shapes alongside 10 matching labels and a ready-to-use activity sheet, so you can go from unpacking to teaching in minutes.
Children learn to recognise and name common 2D shapes while building the mathematical vocabulary they’ll use throughout the maths curriculum — words like sides, corners, edges, and vertices become part of everyday classroom talk rather than abstract terms.
The set is flexible enough to fit however you’re teaching that day: pull it out for a quick individual activity, split it between small groups for a shape-sorting task, or use it as the centrepiece of a whole-class lesson on geometry.
Curriculum stage: EYFS & Key Stage 1
Includes: drawstring bag, 10 foam 2D shapes, 10 shape labels, 1 activity sheet
