Four solid shapes stand in two rows on this 3D shapes coloring page: a cube and a sphere on top, a cone and a cylinder below. Each one sits above its name, CUBE, SPHERE, CONE or CYLINDER, in thick outlined capital letters. A sun, clouds, small flowers and grass fill the space around them. The shapes are big and the lines are wide, so the page is easy for preschool and kindergarten, about ages 3 to 6.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "four solid 3D shapes drawn large: a cube, a sphere, a cone and a cylinder, each with its name in hollow capital letters under it, drawn with simple bold outlines for preschool and kindergarten, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

How to use it

A kindergarten teacher can use the sheet to compare flat shapes with solid ones. The cube shows three of its faces, the cone has one round flat end, the cylinder has two, and the sphere has none. After coloring, children can find a block, a ball, a party hat and a cup and match each one to a shape. For a sheet that adds a pyramid or a rectangular box, create a new 3D shapes page.
