Explanation

This creative project combines shape recognition with art and storytelling. Children use cuboid-shaped boxes to create puppets, reinforcing their understanding of rectangular/cuboid shapes. The activity develops fine motor skills (cutting, drawing), creativity (designing characters), and communication skills (performing puppet show). Teachers should encourage children to share their puppets and explain their choice of boxes based on shape and size.
