A cone with a brim
A wizard hat is a tall triangle sitting on a wide brim, with a band and a star for decoration. The band is the useful bit — it crosses the cone, so a child has to stop at it and start again above, which is more control than a plain triangle asks for.
The star is small and pointed, and it is the part most children want to get right. It is a reasonable first test of whether a child is ready for pages with fine detail.
Cones in the real world
A wizard hat is a cone, and once a child has the word, cones are everywhere: ice cream, traffic cones, party hats, funnels, a rolled-up piece of paper. Three-dimensional shape names are usually taught later than flat ones, but children pick up cone easily because it has so many examples they already know.
Frequently asked questions
- What age is this page for?
- Three to six. The hat and brim are large and easy; the band and star reward a steadier hand.
- Is it worth teaching 3D shape names this early?
- Cone, cube and sphere are all within reach of a four or five-year-old, particularly cone — there are enough familiar examples that the word attaches quickly.
