Making Shapes

This is a quick, easy and really cheap activity to make.   After it is made is it great for more than one activity.  I originally made it for learning shapes.  However, I quickly figured out that counting was involved as well as sorting colors.  And best of all it keeps my youngest busy when we are out to dinner!!!

Each tongue depressor is colored on the end and has the shape name written on it.  For example, the square has red ends & each tongue depressor has the word "square" written on it.  Then the triangle is green, etc...
