These shape-based crafts will help children remember the names of shapes by associating them with common objects. And, while they're learning their shapes, youngsters will have a lot of fun producing creative art projects. In this book designed to supplement the teaching of basic shapes, Kathy Ross draws on her thirty years experience as a preschool teacher and curriculum developer. She has designed twenty easy-to-make crafts, each one based on one of four common shapes. To learn circles, a child will enjoy making a Rubber Band Circle Picture. A Triangle Page Marker will be a useful reminder of that three-sided shaped. A Rectangle Pussycat Puppet and a Wrapped Square pin are entertaining and useful items that will further reinforce shape recognition.

      PreS-Gr 1-This is a delightful book to enhance understanding of the basic geometric shapes; its design is attractively whimsical without sacrificing practicality. With the help of well-drawn, colorful, cartoonlike illustrations, the projects are easy to produce. Children will enjoy the crafting process as well as the finished articles, which include puppets, jewelry, games, and hanging objects. There are five crafts, with suggested variations, per shape; each project is presented on a spread and has a picture of the finished work, sometimes with a child holding it, and an illustrated materials list. The supplies are common household items or easily obtainable; the numbered directions are easy to follow. Use this basic craft book as an introduction to some of the slightly more sophisticated activities in Mary Tomczyk's Shapes, Sizes & More Surprises! (Williamson, 1995), and pair it with Tana Hoban's Shapes, Shapes, Shapes (Greenwillow, 1986) for a view of shapes in the real world.-Lynda Ritterman, Atco Elementary School, Waterford, NJ
