Name the 3D Shape
š Flat vs Fat! 2D shapes are flat drawings. 3D shapes are fat objects you can hold in your hand! Let's name them all.

(Like a dice). * **Rectangular Prism:** A stretched out box. (Like a brick, or a cereal box). * **Sphere:** A perfect round ball. (Like a basketball). * **Cylinder:** A tall tube with flat ends. (Like a soup can, or a battery). * **Cone:** A circle on the bottom, pointing up to a sharp tip. (Like an ice cream cone!).
