Shape Camouflage!
Purpose: This activity can be used for Kindgergarten and Primary school level students.
Suggestion: The resource can be used as an art lesson or as a fun filler activity based on shapes and colouring.
The object is to find the hidden shapes in the larger drawing. Each organic shape has been drawn by hand and has small and large patterns to help with coordination and the ability to discern shapes.
Each pattern also has intricate designs that children can colour and decorate as an extension activity. In the past I ask students to coordinate colours with shapes and this has been really helpful in teaching new vocabulary. I also have used this in the unit: Camouflage as an introductory activity.
