Welcome · 3 min. Show two unconnected shapes, then move one paper card over the other; no glue is needed.

Try together · 5 min. Ask a child to direct an adult's cards into both versions and identify the front shape by name or touch.
Child choice · 7 min. Child chooses a front shape for a fictional window collage and states an intended visual focus; paper or optional art materials both work.
Notice · 4 min. Check that the actual layer order and named front shape agree. Do not judge tidy cutting.
