Shapes can be found all around us in the world through light, shadow, color and textures. To stimulate imagination and creativity, one can play hide and seek with shapes by either finding shapes hidden in abstract paintings or hiding words by covering them with lines forming abstract shapes, flowers, leaves or trees. Playing hide and seek with shapes is a fun way to engage the imagination and put creative thinking to work.

1. LET’S PLAY HIDE AND SEEK WITH SHAPES!
Q: What is a shape? What describea shape? How can we tell where a shape begin
or end?
A: we can see shape all around us, the whole world is a mixture of shape which is
distinguished by light and shadow, by colors, by edges or textures.
In order to stimulate our imagination and develop our creativity we can play a
game of seeking or hiding shapes.
First we can use a painted surface (or we can paint it ourselves) with all kind of
mixed colors, in abstract way, we let it dry and after that, using a marker or a pen
with a strong color we should try to find resemblance in resulted forms. If we look
carefully we may have lovely surprises and discover animals, leaves, flowers,
dragons, princesses or dolphins!
Another game we could play from the other side: we write a word (it may be your
name!) and then we can try to hide it covering it with all kind of lines. Those lines
may describe abstract forms or flowers, leaves or even trees!
Playing hide and seek with shapes will give you lot of joy and put your imagination
to work!
