About this coloring page
Four smiling shapes are arranged in a neat grid: a circle and a square on top, with a triangle and a five-pointed star below. Each one has two dot eyes and a curved smile.
With big outlines and no extra details, this page is a good fit for children just learning their shapes. Counting corners is a fun extra: the circle has none, the triangle has three, the square has four and the star has five outer points.
Color ideas
- Color the circle red, the square blue, the triangle yellow and the star green, naming each shape and color as you go.
- Add rosy cheeks beside each smile so the four shape friends look a little shy.
- Draw arms and legs on each shape, then give the triangle and the square matching shoes.
Did you know?
- A triangle has three sides and three corners. Triangles are very strong shapes, which is why builders use them in bridges and roof frames.
- A square has four sides that are all the same length and four matching square corners.
- A circle has no corners at all; every point on its edge is the same distance from the center.
