This hands-on activity helps students explore 2D and 3D shapes by building them using toothpicks and balls of playdough. Students will copy the shape shown on the card, count how many toothpicks and balls of playdough they used, and answer questions about the number of vertices, edges, and sides.

This activity includes the task cards for building 2D and 3D shapes, 100 toothpicks, a whiteboard marker and tub of playdough.

Students will learn to identify sides, edges, and vertices and count them.

The toothpick and playdough challenges are great for creative building, and for developing shape knowledge, fine motor skills, and problem-solving.

Great for math centres, STEM activities, and hands-on geometry fun!
