Circle Safari:
For Preschoolers
Find a circle in your toy chest that rolls and bounces.
Find 4 circles on your toy truck.
Look on the wall for a circle that ticks and has numbers on it.
For Older Kids
Name something that you drink out of that’s round on top. When your child guesses a cup, ask her why she thinks the opening is circular. Explain that when you tilt a glass for drinking, the liquid comes out in a thin stream. To demonstrate, have her try to drink out of the flat side of a square plastic container.
Find something round that helps you open the door. Ask her if it would be harder or easier if the doorknob were a triangle or square. Take an orange and a banana and have her pretend they are doorknobs, holding them in midair. Which one is easier to turn in a circle? Explain that the round orange best fits the shape of her hand.
Name something round that gives off light. A light bulb is round, you can explain, because the shape allows the light to shine equally in all directions.
