CRAFT/LITERACY: Train Shape with English and Mandarin headers (with free printable)


I received an email for a free printable 2 days ago so I printed it. I love all these free resources from many generous mamas! If you've not signed up for their mailing lists, you ought to! 

This free train template printable is from Stay at Home Educator. I've made accompanying headers for the train and shapes in both English and Mandarin. You can download them here

I was told that square should be 正方形 and 四方形. What have I been learning all my life? HAHAHA! In this printable that I'm sharing, I amended that. 


This activity is great for the introduction of shapes or to recap the names of shapes. It also allows a child to use glue and work on fine motor skills managing the pieces. It also involves some puzzle problem solving skills to fit the pieces. 

As I found the printable for train a little small, I printed it with 110% scale so the pieces are a little larger. I printed it on coloured stock paper so they were a little hardy.

Have fun!
