Let’s Learn About Shapes!

Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with shapes? Let’s go on a shape adventure together!

Meet the Diamond

Look at this blue shape. It’s called a diamond! Isn’t it pretty? You can find diamond shapes on playing cards and sometimes in colorful quilts. Diamonds can make beautiful patterns!

What Color is the Diamond?

Our diamond is a lovely turquoise color. Turquoise is a mix of blue and green. It’s like the color of the ocean!

Say Hello to the Square

Now, let’s look at the pink shapes. These are squares! A square is different from a diamond. Even if you turn a square on its side, it stays a square. Squares have four sides that are all the same length.

Spot the Red Diamond

Can you see the red shape? That’s a diamond too! Diamonds can be different colors, just like squares.

Find the Yellow Square

And look at the yellow shape. It’s a square, but it’s turned halfway on its side. Even when it looks a little different, it’s still a square!

Shapes Are Everywhere!

Shapes are all around us. You can find them in toys, books, and even in nature. Next time you go outside, see how many shapes you can find!

Wasn’t that fun? Now you know all about diamonds and squares. Keep looking for shapes and have a great time learning!
