Packed in a wooden tray. Age Suitability: 3 Years +
Reasons to Love:
• Children love a good maze! With geometry now a huge part of the primary curriculum, it is vital that children have the ability to recognise and form 2D shapes in particular.
• This set of ten 2D shapes allows children to be introduced to these shapes from a young age.
• The attached stylus allows children form regular 2D shapes, whilst also subconsciously developing their awareness of their properties. I.e. sides of the same length.
• This resource can be used throughout school, with the inclusion of trapezium and rhombus promoting discussion around unfamiliar shape names.
• Use as a resource to start teaching about angles from year 2 upwards, e.g. differences between a square and a rhombus.
