Read together
Shapes, oh shapes, so many to see,
Each one unique, as special as can be.
The square is strong, with lines so straight,
It makes a box, or a door to open and wait.
The circle rolls, it has no end,
It's the sun, or a wheel, or a ball to bend.
The diamond sparkles, with sides so bright,
It's a gem, or a kite, that takes to the height.
The rectangle has four sides, so tall and wide,
It's a book, or a door, or a window inside.
The triangle points, up high to the sky,
It's a mountain, or a sail, that catches the eye.
The oval is round, but stretched with glee,
It's an egg, or a face, full of personality.
The heart is the shape, that shows love so true,
It's a symbol, of kindness, for me and for you.
And the star shines bright, like a wish come true,
It's a treasure, of hope, that shines for me and you.
So shapes, oh shapes, let's have some fun,
With each one special, our journey has begun!
Talk about it
