ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Kids Education And Art Let& Learn Solid Shapes | Faces, Edges and Vertices | Video for Kids
Solid shapes are fun objects that take up space, just like your toys or a box of crayons. These shapes have different parts called faces, edges, and vertices. Let’s find out what each of these parts means!
Faces are the flat or curved surfaces on a solid shape. Imagine the sides of a dice; those are its faces!
Edges are where two faces meet. If you run your finger along the side of a book, you’re touching an edge.
Vertices (or corners) are where the edges meet. If you look at the corner of a box, that’s a vertex!
A cube is like a dice. It has six square faces that are all the same size. It also has 12 edges and eight vertices. Imagine stacking blocks; each block is a cube!
A cuboid looks like a box or a brick. It has six faces, but the opposite faces are the same size. It also has 12 edges and eight vertices, just like a cube.
A cylinder is like a can of soda. It has three faces: two flat circles and one curved side. It has two edges but no vertices.
A cone looks like an ice cream cone. It has one flat face and one curved face. It has one edge and one vertex at the tip.
A sphere is like a ball. It has one curved face all around. It doesn’t have any edges or vertices.
Did you know that solid shapes are everywhere? Look around your room and see if you can find objects that are cubes, cuboids, cylinders, cones, or spheres. Maybe your favorite toy or a piece of furniture matches one of these shapes!
Understanding solid shapes helps us learn about the world around us. Next time you play with blocks or build something, think about the faces, edges, and vertices of the shapes you use!
Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that match the solid shapes we learned about: cubes, cuboids, cylinders, cones, and spheres. Make a list or draw pictures of the objects you find. Can you count the faces, edges, and vertices of each shape? Share your findings with a friend or family member!
Build Your Own Shapes: Use modeling clay or playdough to create your own solid shapes. Try making a cube, a cuboid, a cylinder, a cone, and a sphere. As you build, count the number of faces, edges, and vertices each shape has. How are they similar or different? Display your shapes and explain them to someone else!
Shape Story Time: Imagine a day in the life of a solid shape. Pick one shape, like a cube or a sphere, and create a short story about its adventures. Where does it go? What does it see? Does it meet any other shapes? Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with your class or family!

Solid shapes are the objects that occupy space. The flat surfaces of a solid shape are called its faces. Faces meet at the edges, and edges meet at the vertices. Vertices are sometimes called corners.
Here are some solid shapes:
– **Cube**: A cube has six equal faces, which are squares. It has 12 equal edges and eight vertices.
– **Cuboid**: A cuboid has six faces. Opposite faces of a cuboid are equal in size. It has 12 edges and eight vertices.
– **Cylinder**: A cylinder has three faces: two flat faces that are equal in size and one curved face. It has two edges and zero vertices.
– **Cone**: A cone has two faces: one flat face and one curved face. It has one edge and one vertex.
– **Sphere**: A sphere has one curved face. It has zero edges and zero vertices.
