This hands-on activity helps students explore 2D and 3D shapes by building them using toothpicks and balls of playdough. Students will copy the shape shown on the card, count how many toothpicks and balls of playdough they used, and answer questions about the number of vertices, edges, and sides. Students will learn to identify sides, edges, and vertices and count them. The toothpick and playdough challenges are great for creative building, and for developing shape knowledge, fine motor skills,
