Help your pre-schooler recognise and compare shapes through active water play.

Spray the Shape is a lively shape-recognition game that gets children moving, looking and comparing. Draw a mixture of familiar shapes in different sizes and positions, then call out a shape for your child to find and spray or wipe away. Repeatedly spotting circles, squares, rectangles and triangles helps children recognise shapes even when they look slightly different.

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. Use a patio, chalkboard, tuff tray or another washable surface, then add more shapes, different sizes or simple positional clues as your child becomes more confident.
