they learn triangle really quickly when you teach them about triceratops the dinosaur! they wont forget 3 sides, 3 vertices. Add tricycle too.

Answer 2

*Read the Icky Bug Shapes Book to the kids.  

*Give the kids a variety of sizes of triangles drawn on different colors of construction paper.  Let them cut out the triangles and make collage style pictures.  Experiment a little first so you have ideas. to get them started.  Show them how you could make a tree, a butterfly, a fancy design, etc.  Then let them do their own thing.

*Let them help fold the napkins into triangles at lunch.

*Play Find Me a Triangle and ask them to find one toy or picture in the room that is shaped like a triangle.

*Look for triangles everywhere, signs, books, toys.  Use sticks outside to make a triangle and challenge them to do it too.  Draw a triangle in the sand and ask them if they can draw one too.

*Do triangle paintings.  See what they create.  Maybe they can paint a dog or a giraffe out of a triangle.  Maybe they'll paint a house with a triangle roof.
