Shape Activities for Kids with See-Through Lenses

It’s not easy to find fun and unique shape activities for kids, but I have you covered. My preschoolers loved the colored lenses so much, that we had to make some shaped lenses as well! Kids love learning and playing with the see-through lenses printable! These activities are differentiated and are best for preschool, kindergarten and first graders. Just like the color lenses, they are great for a morning activity or math center!

To prepare your shape lenses printable, cut out the lenses and run the sheets through the laminator. I used my laminator at home because my sheets are a bit thicker than the laminator machines at school. Cardstock is recommended to unsure a durable work mat!
