I did one with

Pizza - triangle
Chicken Drumsticks - oval
Donut - circle
Crackers - square

Etc. I also laminate them and had her do matching. I found it very helpful.

I will try the defining and the non defining attributes.

Hmmm… is the defining versus non defining attributes have to do with characteristics versus attributes?
