Help your pre-schooler discover shapes in the world around them.
Shape Hunt is a fun searching activity that encourages children to spot familiar shapes in everyday objects around the home, garden or while out and about. As they hunt for circles, triangles, squares and rectangles, they'll practise recognising and naming shapes, comparing their features and noticing that the same shape can appear in different sizes and orientations.
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. You'll also receive a printable Shape Hunt sheet to take along on your search, or you can simply explore and talk about the shapes you discover together.
