Let’s go row by row and color the objects that match the 3-D shape shown on the left.
---
Row 1: Sphere
The sphere is a round ball shape — like a basketball or globe.
Look at the objects in this row:
- Basketball → YES (it’s round like a sphere)
- Popcorn bucket → NO (it’s more like a cylinder with a flat top)
- Globe → YES (it’s a round Earth model — definitely a sphere!)
- Bowl → NO (it’s open on top, not fully round like a sphere)
✔ Color:
Basketball and
Globe
---
Row 2: Cube
A cube has 6 equal square sides — like a die or building block.
Objects in this row:
- Can → NO (cylinder shape)
- ABC blocks → YES! Each letter block is a cube
- Cheese wedge → NO (triangular prism, not a cube)
- Die → YES! It’s a classic cube with dots
✔ Color:
ABC blocks and
Die
*(Note: The can is not a cube — it’s a cylinder. The cheese is a triangular prism.)*

Row 3: Cone
A cone has a circular base and comes to a point on top — like an ice cream cone or party hat.
Objects in this row:
- Ice cream cone → YES! Classic cone shape
- Beach ball → NO (that’s a sphere)
- Party hat → YES! Pointy top, round base — perfect cone
- Mug → NO (cylinder with handle)
✔ Color:
Ice cream cone and
Party hat

Row 4: Cylinder
A cylinder is like a can — straight sides, round top and bottom.
Objects in this row:
- Soup can → YES! Perfect cylinder
- Log → YES! Round ends, straight sides — also a cylinder
- Gift box → NO (that’s a rectangular prism)
- Baseball → NO (sphere)
✔ Color:
Soup can and
Log

Final Answer:
Color these objects:
-
Sphere row: Basketball, Globe
-
Cube row: ABC blocks, Die
-
Cone row: Ice cream cone, Party hat
-
Cylinder row: Soup can, Log
