Hey there, little friend! Today, we’re going to have a fun adventure learning about shapes. Shapes are everywhere, and they can be so much fun to find. Let’s start our journey with some yummy breakfast shapes!
Circles are round and smooth. They don’t have any corners. Can you think of some circle shapes? How about pancakes, eggs, or oranges? Yum! Did you know that pancakes have been around for a very long time? They’re a delicious circle treat!
Ovals look like circles that got a little squished. They are longer on one side. You can find oval shapes in rolls, eggs, and grapes. Did you know that white eggs come from white hens, and brown eggs come from brown or red hens? That’s egg-citing!
Triangles have three sides and three corners. You might see triangles in a piece of toast or a slice of cake. Triangles are tasty and fun to eat!
Squares have four sides that are all the same length. Waffles are a yummy square shape with little squares inside to hold syrup. Squares are great for breakfast!
Rectangles also have four sides, but two sides are longer than the other two. You can find rectangles in toaster pastries and bacon strips. Rectangles make breakfast extra special!
There are even more shapes to discover! Pentagons have five sides, hexagons have six, and octagons have eight. Can you find these shapes in your cereal? You’re becoming a shape expert!
Shapes can roll, stack, and even dangle in the air. Some shapes are round like balls, and some are flat like paper. Look around your house and see how many shapes you can find!
Shapes are all around us, in the sky, on the ground, and even in our homes. They can be big or small, shiny or dull. Shapes help us find our way and make the world a fun place to explore.
Now that you know all about shapes, you can see them everywhere. Keep looking for shapes and have fun discovering new ones every day!
If you love learning about shapes, ask your grown-up to help you find more stories and books. There are so many adventures waiting for you. Happy exploring!
Shape Hunt Adventure: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that match the shapes you’ve learned about: circles, ovals, triangles, squares, and rectangles. Can you find a circle clock, a square window, or a rectangle book? Draw or take pictures of the shapes you find and share them with your friends or family.
Shape Art Creation: Use colored paper, scissors, and glue to create a fun shape collage. Cut out different shapes like circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. Arrange them on a piece of paper to make a picture or pattern. What can you create with your shapes? Maybe a house, a rocket, or a funny face?
Shape Story Time: Think about a story that includes different shapes as characters. What adventures might a circle, a square, and a triangle have together? Draw a picture of your shape characters and tell a story about their day. Share your story with your classmates or family and see what other shape stories they can come up with!

[Music]
It’s food for thought,
It’s fun to be round,
It’s better to be square.
[Music]
Let’s learn all the shapes,
It’s tasty and it’s fun,
With breakfast friends and food for thought,
We’ll learn them one by one.
**Circles**
[Music]
Circles have no points at all,
They’re smooth and round each way,
Like pancakes, eggs, or oranges you juice,
To start each day.
[Music]
Blueberries,
Orange,
Egg,
Grapefruit,
Pancakes.
Did you know breakfast cereal has been around since 1863?
Pancakes have circled the globe for thousands of years.

Ovals look like squishy circles,
Pulled up and stretched down.
Rolls and eggs have oval shapes,
They’re not uniformly round.
Sweet bowl,
Sausage,
Egg,
Grapes,
Cinnamon roll,
Éclair,
Brown egg.
Did you know white eggs come from white hens,
And brown eggs come from brown or red hens?
Egg-citing!
You crack me up!
**Triangles**
Triangles have three straight sides,
That three pointy angles make.
You’ll see them in a piece of toast,
Or breakfast coffee cake.
Toast,
Coffee cake,
French toast,
Strawberries.
Quiche is tasty, don’t be afraid to try it!
**Squares**
[Music]
Squares come with four sides, you know,
Each of equal size,
Like waffles with square honeycomb,
To catch a sweet surprise.
Beignets,
Fruit tart,
Waffles,
Breakfast sandwich,
Melon cubes.
Be sure to include fruit for a square meal!

Rectangles have four sides too,
But two longer than the rest,
Like toaster pastries,
French toast strips, or bacon,
That’s the best!
Nut bread,

Bacon.
Have a good breakfast every day,
We’re baking!
These puns are just getting warmed up!

And hexagons have six,
Octagons have eight, of course.
[Music]
Do you see each inside the mix?
Cereal,
You’ll be a shapes expert after this.
Seriously!
Oh, you’re so smart,
It just blows me over!
Many foods have lots of shapes,
How many can you spot?
We’d give you another pun,
But we’ve milked this enough.
Nicely done, you got them all,
Put yummy food for thought.
[Music]
**Shapes Roll**
[Music]
Triangle,
Circle,
Square.
Shapes in the sky,
Shapes on the ground,
Shapes are everywhere,
Look around!
There are shapes that roll,
Shapes that can’t.
Shapes have sides that angle and slant.
Some shapes stack,
Some shapes don’t.
Eggs and balls are shapes that won’t.
Watch out!
Shapes to throw,
Shapes to share,
Shapes that dangle in the air.
Shapes for stuff,
Shapes for go,
A house has many shapes to show.
Shapes that shine,
Shapes that freeze,
Shapes of fruits that grow on trees.
Shapes that glimmer up above,
Shapes that make you think of love.
Shapes to open,
Shapes to close,
Shapes that stand up tall in rows.
[Music]
Shapes that teeter,
Shapes that play,
Shapes help people find their way.
A shape that’s whole,
A shape in pieces,
Yay!
Yummy!
A shape with many folds and creases.
Shapes are heavy,
Shapes are light,
Pillow shapes are sure to fight.
Spheres are round,
Circles are flat,
Squares lie down,
And cubes are fat.
Now you know shapes, how cool is that?
Do you see the arrows, the circles, and the squares?
Do you see the stars and hearts and ovals everywhere?
Ah!
Triangles, rectangles, diamonds,
And pentagons of blue.
Wow!
