This fun shape drawing for kids activity is a great quick and easy activity. It’s perfect for early finishers in your classroom, or a fun activity to do while travelling or waiting, or just a fun creative prompt for when your kids don’t know what to draw.

These shape drawing printables are also a great way to reinforce learning about 2D shapes. Kids will be naming shapes, counting sides, and becoming more and more familiar with the 2D shapes as they draw and create.

It’s amazing how creative you can be with just simple shapes!

    Thankfully, Miss Possum has been an amazing drawer from 1.5 years (I’m not kidding, she spent hours on that magnadoodle toy). She could draw shapes by age two but I love the idea of using shapes to be be creative, to create your own mandala designs and to use vibrant colours like your children did.

    Thank you so much for posting this! I bought a mandala coloring book for my kids on vacation and they loved it … now I am excited to print these out and see what they create on their own. Thanks again for sharing!

    These are terrific Kate. A brilliant prompt that still allows kids to put their own stamp on it and make it their own.

      I’m so sorry you have had troubles downloading the printable. I think I had a server glitch there for a little while, but it should be fixed now. Please give it another try and let me know if you are still having problems.
