Make shape learning festive, hands-on, and highly structured with these Turkey Shape Sorting Mats—perfect for autism support classrooms, preschool, pre-K, kindergarten, and early intervention! This resource is built for task boxes, TEACCH-style work systems, structured learning, and small-group or independent practice.

Children identify and sort circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, stars, and hearts using engaging turkey-themed mats and matching shape pieces. The clean visual layout makes this activity ideal for learners who benefit from predictable, structured tasks.

This product can be used in multiple sensory-friendly ways, including:
🦃 Traditional shape sorting
🦃 Independent TEACCH work stations
