Help your pre-schooler explore familiar shapes through colourful printing and creative play.

Shape Printing uses simple potato stamps to help children notice, recognise and compare shapes as they create. As your child prints circles, squares, rectangles and triangles in different colours and positions, they’ll see how the same shape can look different when it is turned, repeated or printed at a different size, while naturally exploring simple patterns too.

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. Prepare a few simple potato shape stamps, then let your child experiment freely before encouraging them to compare prints, rotate shapes or create repeating patterns and pictures.
