A sphere is like a ball It has just 1 curved side A sphere’s a shape that only rolls It doesn’t stack or slide

A cylinder’s a shape with faces 1 and 2 I can roll it I can stack it I can slide it right to you! A cylinder’s the shape that can do it all With one curved side It can stack and slide And roll just like a ball

A cube is like a box With 6 faces that are flat It can’t roll at all But it can slide and stack

A cone is like a snack 1 face and 1 curved side It rolls in a circle It can stack and slide
