Help your Reception child discover how shapes can be combined to create pictures.

Shape Creations encourages children to arrange simple 2D shapes into their own pictures and designs. As your child combines circles, triangles, squares and rectangles, they’ll become more familiar with shape names, notice how smaller shapes fit together and develop spatial awareness through creative play.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows, alongside a printable shape-picture inspiration sheet. Children can copy one of the examples first or use the shapes to invent a completely new picture of their own.
