Hi everyone

Hope you are all safe and well. The Nursery ladies are missing you all and hoping to see you all soon. Todays activity was inspired from the Valentines activities this was all about the heart shape so I thought we could look at some of the other shapes we know. Learning about the difference between 2D and 3D shapes.  The pictures below show some items you can find in your home everyday.  The first picture is 2D shapes and the second is 3D shapes.

 

2D:                                                                                                                              3D:

 

The difference between a 2D shape and a 3D shape is the 2D shape is completely flat a 3D shape is solid.
