Help your Reception child explore 2D shapes through creative pizza-making play.

Make Your Own Pizza turns shape recognition into a colourful craft activity. Your child chooses circles, triangles, squares, rectangles and other paper shapes to create pizza toppings, talking about the sides, corners and curved edges they notice as they design. Once finished, they can count and sort the different shapes they have used.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. Draw a simple pizza base or use a paper plate, then introduce shape challenges, repeating patterns or pretend pizza-shop orders as your child becomes more confident.
