Learn shapes like never before! With 34 2D and 3D shapes in their box, children will always have more than the usual circle, square, triangle, rectangle to talk about. All shapes are illustrated in the same colour to allow children to focus on learning the shape and not get too overwhelmed by the changing colours, which is generally the case with other resources that you find for teaching shapes to children
The set contains 34 super sturdy, double-sided, double-laminated Learning Cards that are made to last for years.
Double-sided just like all our learning cards. The front has a clear and generously sized drawing of the shape and does not give away the name of the shape. The reverse features its name as well as an easy-to-follow description of the shape on the front with its properties.
Suitable to be used from 2 years old, or sooner under adult supervision, right until the child is in primary school and able to read independently.
Also included is a play guide with creative ideas and suggestions for engaging games, activities and lessons that can be adapted for children of varied ages.
Made in the UK. UKCA / CE Tested.
Set includes a Free Magnetic-close Gift Box / Storage Box as well as Free Physical Play Guide with creative ideas and suggestions for play, activities, games and lessons. Activities can be adapted to use alongside children, siblings, friends of different ages all at the same time.
