Stick Man 2D Shapes Tuff Tray Pack

Bring geometry, fine motor play and a touch of winter storytelling into your early years setting with the Stick Man 2D Shapes Tuff Tray Pack.
Inspired by the much-loved Stick Man story, children explore and recreate 2D shapes using real sticks and visual shape prompts.
This highly engaging hands-on activity encourages mathematical thinking, problem-solving and creativity with a seasonal twist.

What’s Included
This pack provides everything needed to set up a rich, shape-focused learning experience:

  • A display prompt: “Can you make these shapes using sticks?”
  • Stick Man cut-out character to bring a storytelling element to the tray.
  • Shape cards showing stick-built outlines of 2D shapes such as: Triangle, Square, Rectangle, Oblong, Circle, Semi-circle, Pentagon, Hexagon, Octagon
  • Shape word labels to support early reading and vocabulary development.
  • A winter-themed design for all cards to tie in with the festive Stick Man theme.

EYFS Links
Mathematics – Shape, Space & Measures

  • Children build, compare and talk about 2D shapes, exploring sides, vertices and similarities using real sticks.

Communication & Language

  • Discussion naturally arises as children describe shapes, use mathematical vocabulary, and link the activity to the Stick Man story.

Physical Development – Fine Motor Skills

  • Picking up, placing and arranging sticks strengthens finger control and hand–eye coordination.

Expressive Arts & Design

  • Children explore creative ways to construct shapes and can extend the activity into Stick Man role-play or storytelling.

Understanding the World

  • Using natural materials helps children make links to the outdoor environment and seasonal changes.

Perfect for continuous provision, small-group learning or outdoor-inspired enhancements, this tray allows children to deepen their understanding of shape properties in a meaningful, active way.
