Ball, Box, and Can

Name solid shapes: sphere, cube, and cylinder.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child names solid shapes: sphere (ball), cube (box), and cylinder (can), and finds them at home. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 36

Some shapes are solid. You can pick them up! This is a sphere. It's round all over, like a ball.
This is a cube. It's like a box, with flat square sides.
This is a cylinder. It's like a can, with a circle on the top and the bottom.
Your turn! Point to the one that's like a ball. It's the sphere, in the middle!
Try it with a grown-up! Find a ball, a box, and a can. Which ones roll? Which one slides?
