3D Shapes Worksheet: Circle and Name the Shapes!
This worksheet helps children ages 4-6 identify common 3D shapes like spheres, cubes, and cylinders by matching them to real objects, then connects each 3D shape to its related 2D shape, such as a cube's square face or a sphere's circular outline. Understanding that 3D shapes are built from 2D shapes is an important early geometry concept that supports later spatial reasoning and measurement skills.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first 3D shape shown and name it together — sphere, cube, cone, or cylinder. Have your child circle the everyday objects on the page that match that 3D shape, like a ball for a sphere or a can for a cylinder. Then ask your child to identify and write the name of the 2D shape associated with that 3D shape's flat face. Repeat for each 3D shape on the page.
