Sphero Shape Maker

In this activity, students will engage in a unique Sphero Mini activity! Students will work on identifying shapes and using the Sphero Mini to trace each shape. Students or teachers will draw the shapes and then drive Sphero over each shape. This will lead into a discussion of different types of shapes as well as a great opportunity to practice shape recognition and Sphero Mini driving skills!
