✋ Activity: Shape Combiner

Using paper shapes (cut out circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles), combine them to create an animal, vehicle, or building. Glue them onto paper and label each shape you used!

🧠 Design Thinking Tip

Real designers call this "composition" — arranging shapes together to build something new. Every building, toy, and machine is made of shapes combined cleverly!
