List of shapes

A star is a shape you often see at Christmas time, as decorations on a Christmas tree. Stars are usually drawn with five or six points. You can also see stars on the flags of some countries, like the American flag.

A teardrop shape is the shape of a falling drop of water, like a tear falling from your eye. Teardrop shapes are often seen in jewellery.

A triangle is a shape with three sides. The triangle in the picture is orange.

A tuft is a small bundle of something soft and fluffy, like hair, feathers or even fine grass. Tufts tend to be formed with one end of the tuft all in one place, and the other end of the tuft loosely spread out.

A wedge is a triangular shaped piece of something where one end is very pointy and the opposite side is flat. Wedges are designed to be driven into places by hitting the flat end so the point is driven into a gap. Wedges are commonly used for keeping doors open, or for driving into blocks of wood to help split them.
