Siva Nikilesh woke up with a big smile. “Today, I’m going on a shape adventure!” he cheered. He put on his shoes and explorer hat. Little feet jumped out the door. The adventure had begun. “Let’s find shapes!” he laughed.

On the sidewalk, Siva pointed. “Look! That sign is a square. It has four equal sides,” he said proudly. He touched the corners gently. “Squares are everywhere!” Siva grinned.

Siva pointed at his window. “That’s a rectangle! Two sides are longer,” he told himself. He traced it with his finger. “Rectangles can be tall or wide.” He smiled at the discovery.

At the park, Siva looked up. “The sun is a circle—so round!” he said. He spun around in a little circle. “No corners, just round and round.” The sun made him giggle.

He saw a flag waving high. “That flag is a triangle,” Siva shouted. He counted, “One, two, three corners!” The flag fluttered above him. Triangles looked fun to him. He waved back at it.

On the ground, Siva found chalk. He drew a star and smiled. “A star has five sparkly arms!” he said. The star twinkled on the pavement. He clapped his hands with joy. “Stars are magic shapes!”

Siva found a heart-shaped cookie. “My favorite shape!” he cheered. He took a big, happy bite. “Hearts mean love,” he whispered. The cookie tasted sweet and warm. He smiled, thinking of Mommy.

Near the pond, Siva saw a kite. “It’s diamond-shaped like my kite!” he laughed. The kite danced in the breeze. Siva jumped and waved. “Diamonds shine in the sky!” he giggled. He wished to fly, too.

Siva sat in his sandbox. With a stick, he drew an oval. “Ovals look like stretched circles,” he said. He tried to trace it perfectly. “I like oval eggs!” he giggled. Drawing was so much fun!

Siva sat on the soft grass. He looked around at all the shapes. “Squares, triangles, circles, and stars!” he counted. The world was full of shapes. “Shapes make everything interesting,” Siva thought. He felt proud of his adventure.

He set out a round sandwich on a square plate. A triangle fruit and oval egg joined in. “My lunch is made of shapes!” he cheered. Siva giggled, munching happily. Shapes made every meal special.

As the sun set, Siva yawned. “Thank you, shapes, for a great day,” he whispered. He hugged his heart-shaped pillow. Curling up, he closed his eyes. Dreaming of more shapes to find. Tomorrow’s adventure would be fun, too!
