Kindergarten 2D and 3D shapes videos

Quick answer

In kindergarten (ages 5–6), children name flat and solid shapes, describe where things are and build new shapes from smaller ones. Twinkl's "2D and 3D Shapes for Kids", Khan Academy's "Recognizing shapes" and Jack Hartmann's cube, sphere, cone and cylinder songs. Use Repeat one on the shape your child is learning.

What does this kindergarten shapes unit cover?

It covers 2D shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, rectangles and hexagons, 3D shapes such as cubes, spheres, cones and cylinders, and position words like above, below, beside and behind. By the end, a child should name shapes in any size or turn and say whether they are flat or solid.

How does RepeatWatch help with learning shapes?

Use Repeat one on a single shape song, such as "It's a Cylinder!", or set an A–B loop on one part of a Twinkl lesson. Slow it to 0.75× when new words appear, save shapes on keys 1–9, and use Stop after N loops to keep sessions short.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 2D and 3D shapes?

A 2D shape is flat, like a drawing of a circle on paper. A 3D shape is solid and takes up space, like a ball (sphere) or a can (cylinder). Kindergartners learn to sort shapes into these two groups.

What grade learns 3D shapes like cones and cylinders?

In the US, naming cubes, cones, cylinders and spheres is part of kindergarten geometry (ages 5–6). Grade levels vary by country and school, and 1st grade builds on it with composing shapes.
