DLTK's Educational Activities for Kids
Ferris Wheel Shapes Practice

This is a fun and simple ferris wheel worksheet that children can use to practice their shapes. If you use the colour version of the template children can choose to match the colours as well as the shapes!

This cute activity is also a great way to practice scissor skills, especially with the simpler shapes. Young children may need a bit of help cutting out the more challenging shapes (eg. heart and star).

As an aside, this is also a good primer for drawing pictures. Seeing the "simple shapes" in a picture is the first step to becoming a budding artist!

Materials:

printer and paper
scissors,
glue,
Optional: Something to color with

Instructions:

Print out the template of your choice -- you need two templates for the activity. The one with the shapes and the one with the ferris wheel. You can mix and match the black and white and colour images if you like.
Cut out the images from the shapes template.
Match up the shapes on the ferris wheel templates and glue them on. (The cut out shapes will be slightly larger than the dotted shapes on the ferris wheel to make them slightly easier to handle.)
Let the glue dry.
Color the image (if you would like to).

Printing the Template:

Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).

About the Artist/Author:

Hello! I'm Leanne, the creative mind behind coloring.ws. I love nothing more than enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet day with a good friend. Here’s a bit more about me:

Things I Love:

Drawing: My happy place is with a pencil in hand, bringing ideas to life on paper.
Creative Writing: I love using my imagination to create delightful stories and playful rhymes for kids.
Early Childhood Education: I absolutely adore those early, eager-to-learn years with kids. Their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious!
History: Exploring the past helps me understand the present and dream about the future.

Things I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With:

Technology: I love how it connects us and makes things easier, but why does it have to change so quickly?
Trivia Nights: I'm your go-to person for fun facts, yet somehow, I always end up in second or third place. Frustrating!
Gardening: I like to think I have a green thumb, but it has a few brown speckles. My plants and I are working on it.
Animals: I adore my pets and they bring me so much joy, but oh, the chores! Why can’t they clean up after themselves?

I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.

I know that while the coloring pages are largely for kids, many of you visiting the site are educators and caregivers. I’ve tried to share some interesting trivia tidbits and fun facts to make your visit enjoyable too. Happy coloring!
