Circle Hunt at the Bus Stop!

A fun shape-hunting activity for young learners
Waiting for the bus becomes a fun learning adventure with this engaging Circle Hunt at the Bus Stop activity! Children explore a cheerful bus-stop scene and carefully search for circles hidden throughout the picture.
Once they spot a circle, they colour it in! With a school bus, bus stop sign, shelter, timetable, children, backpacks, a friendly driver, a dog and lots of everyday details, there is plenty for young learners to discover.

Shape recognition – identify circles in different sizes and positions
Observation skills – carefully scan a busy scene to find hidden shapes
Fine motor skills – practice pencil and colouring control
Visual discrimination – distinguish circles from other shapes
Creativity – colour the picture as they complete the hunt

Flowers and outdoor details
…and many more!
