shape sort

I recently found a huge bag of foam shapes with my school supplies. M loves them and we've used them for a few things. I wasn't sure how a sort with them would go but M ended up getting really into it and pretending each set of shapes were a family ("where does baby square go?"). 

I made some large construction paper shapes and gave him a bowl of shapes. I showed him two and he caught on right away. I think I will try this again another day with colors. M was calling the large shapes their "houses" so I think making colored houses to sort them into by color would a success.
