Shape Matching is great for learning shapes and colors. Kids will love the vibrant yellow, blue, green, and orange pieces. Just use the corresponding halves to create full shapes to place on the wooden board. Each shape is done also in two shades of a color, for example light and dark blue, to help children learn to identify similarities and differences.

Dimensions: 6.9" x 6.9" x 1.2"
For ages 3 and up.

How to play:

• In the initial stage, parents can guide children to recognize the different sections and help them match, providing opportunities to solve problems on their own as well as promoting eye-hand coordination.
• In the next stage, parents can add information about colors and shapes, which add to basic mathematical concepts as well as help develop vocabulary skills.
• Parents can use the geometric shapes to help children recognize things in their daily life, providing opportunities for children to connect the shapes to things around them, stimulating their intellectual and thinking capacity.
• Parents should praise children when they can do it and advise as well as encourage them if they are not able to.
