<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe Football Shape Matching Puzzle Printable is a great addition to the football printables<\/a> and shape printables<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n It is a geometric shape like a circle, square, heart, or rectangle. These are just some of the 2D shapes.<\/p>\n There are 12 puzzles in all. It has the following shapes: circle, square, oval, triangle, rectangle, rhombus, crescent, star, heart, pentagon, hexagon, octagon.<\/p>\n Each football has two sides to it.

If you plan to reuse the shape puzzles then laminate<\/a> the puzzles for longer use.<\/p>\n For younger kids, you might want to star out with a few cards 4 or 5. I like to sort them so that each half is on a side for them to pick from.<\/p>\n If you have older kids have them turn the cards over and flip the cards to do a matching game. We love doing this with them.<\/p>\n This Football Shape puzzle set does not have a recording sheet, but you can use 10 of the puzzles with the Shape Hunt Printable<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can also use the football shape find<\/a> with the shape puzzles.
