Shapes

Naming flat shapes and solids, and spotting them at any size or turn.

Why is the triangle upside down?

Kids learn the picture before they learn the shape. Your child might name a triangle on the page and walk right past the same triangle on a yield sign. Turning it sideways is how they get unstuck.

What each age is working on
