Activity For Kids:

Shape cardboard roll painting

I always have cardboard rolls and paint in the home and that’s all this activity needs!

It’s also a very simple educational activity, because it teaches shapes and colours.

This activity is inspired by ideas from Shape cardboard roll painting.

This activity is great to teach your kids:

Cognitive activities is educational play and is vital for your toddler's cognitive development – that is, your child's ability to think, understand, communicate, make memories, imagine and work out what might happen next.

Colour recognition activities helps children get to know the different colors and color blending and matching.

Sensory play is play that involves all the senses - taste, sound, sight, touch and smell. Sensory play is very beneficial to children. Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play is also very relaxing and rejuvenating to children.

Step 1

Make the heart shape with the cardboard roll.

In order to make the heart stamp flatten the toilet roll tube. Tuck one of the folded edges into the centre of the tube to create the curved part of the heart. You can use a bit of tape to hold it in place.

Step 2

Make the square shape from the cardboard roll.

Flatten the toilet roll tube, open it up and then flatten it the other way.

Step 3

Make a triangle out of the cardboard roll.

Create three folds around the tube to form a triangle shape.

My son and I had fun shaping the cardboard rolls into shapes, trying to figure out how to get a perfect shape. Then both kids enjoyed painting with the shapes.

This 2D shape painting activity can be used to help toddlers and preschoolers learn their shapes and colours or to make colourful gift wrap, greeting cards or wall art.
