Used for our special needs child.
We have a nine-year-old daughter with special needs, her attention span for most every thing is just a minute or two, but she loves to play this game and will do so for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. And that is a big deal to be able to keep her occupied for 5 or 10 minutes continuously.
Thank you for making it free, we would not have tried it otherwise as so many other games we tried did not work for her.
Levels progress with progress!
This game has 2, then 3, changes things up a bit, goes to a 2 & 3 level, each with just enough to keep the attention for a young child to learn.
My granddaughter was putting a shape into a hole & a bird popped up on screen, startled her, to make her drop the shape, we had a good laugh together!
Had tried a game similar to this when she was a toddler that was very disappointing, only about 5 items & “Congratulations, you’re done unless you spend money now!” No thanks!So thank you for offering a early learning experience for free & giving the opportunity for more levels before requiring money for even more levels. An organization that truly puts sincere concern for quality teaching before the almighty dollar, is one that I will be seeking out for future programs & be willing to pay for, to have it!!!
Great game
This app keeps my 20 month old very entertained. He's learning so fast I'm going to have to find something more challenging. We did have issues with him swiping the screen and making the game disappear.
This problem was solved by adjusting the settings on my iPad so that the screen was locked in place. The setting is called "guided access". Not a very self evident name. The game itself is great though. I would recommend it to anyone with a toddler.

Games with geometric shapes
It is very important to teach a child to perceive and distinguish between the shapes of objects and memorize their names.
To do this, the baby examines the shape of the object with his hands and eyes and applies this knowledge to solve a specific problem (for example, pick up an object that matches the shape of the corresponding geometric shapes to the slot).
As a result of purposeful games, the child memorizes the standards of geometric shapes and their names.
nine0003
Round - not round
In a tight bag, put round objects that have the shape of a circle (wheel, plastic plate, rings from the pyramid, teething ring, etc.) and other objects (matryoshka, cube , book, bar of soap, etc.). The child needs, without looking, to get only round objects.
Or take out any object and say whether it is round or not.
Discover the shape
Prepare paired volumetric geometric shapes: a cube, a ball, a parallelepiped, a cylinder, a cone, etc. One set of figures is folded into a bag, the second is laid out on the table.
You show any of the figures on the table and ask the child to take the same one out of the bag. Voice the name of the figure he gets: “parallelepiped”, “cylinder”.
Sorting
Cut cardboard into geometric shapes in different sizes and colors. Invite your child to sort them into circles, triangles, squares, ovals and rectangles. nine0007
Do you have any?
Place a number of cardboard cut-out geometric shapes in front of your child, such as a circle, a triangle, a rectangle and an oval. And in front of you - a square, a rectangle, a circle and a triangle.
Hold up the circle and say, “I have a circle.
And you?".
The child raises the circle and shows. Now hold up the square and ask the child, "Do you have a square?"
The child must answer that he does not have a square.
At the end of the game, you can compare which geometric shapes the mother had and which the child had, and lay out a common figure from them.
Repeat row
Lay out in a row 3 - 5 geometric shapes, for example: a circle, a triangle, a square, an oval, a triangle. The child needs to lay out exactly the same row from below: circle, triangle, square, oval, triangle.
nine0003
Third extra
Put two blue circles and one red square in front of the baby - what's extra? Gradually complicate the task: put a red circle, a yellow circle and a green triangle or a blue square, a blue circle and a green square.
Circle track
On a thick sheet of paper close to each other in the form of a wavy path, draw many circles with a diameter of 2 cm, and in parallel, or even slightly crossing the first path, draw a path of squares with a side of 2 cm.
The kid needs to walk along the path only from circles with two fingers, then only from squares. nine0007
Collect all circles
Lay out circles, squares, triangles, ovals, etc. cut out of cardboard on the floor. different sizes. The child needs to collect, for example, only circles.
House with geometric windows
Make a didactic game for the child:
Lay the landscape sheet horizontally and fold it in half. On the top sheet, draw windows of various geometric shapes. Cut the windows so that the child can open and close them. nine0003
Put a sheet of paper into the resulting “book”. Open the round window and draw behind it, for example, the sun. Behind the square window is a box, behind the rectangular window is a book, behind the triangular window is a sailing boat, behind the oval is a mirror.
Ask the child: “What lives behind the round window?”
A child opens a window and says: “Sunny”, etc.
When the child remembers all the "inhabitants of the house", insert a new sheet and draw other objects of the same shapes. nine0003

Onomatopoeia, colors and geometric shapes are one of the first skills that a yearling masters. By the age of three, he not only says “kitten - meow,” but he can also tell a lot about a pet from the feline family. In the knowledge of geometric figures, the child also advances significantly in two years - from naming simple flat figures to drawing and constructing them from cubes. But all these skills need to be gradually developed. Learning basic geometric shapes is more interesting and effective in a playful way. Let's look at a few proven games for children 1-3 years old. nine0003

Application of geometric shapes for kids
For children 1-3 years old, when learning new information, consistency and gradualness are very important. The perception of squares and circles helps the baby to use logical thinking, improve their spatial perception and determine the shape of objects in everyday life.
Start with simple games and gradually make them more difficult, improving your baby's math skills.
We made a selection based on the age of the children and their average abilities. But you need, first of all, to look not at the age, but at the skills of your child. Start with the simplest games and gradually move on to more complex tasks. nine0003
Learning geometric shapes with a 1-2 year old baby
During this period, it is worth teaching a child only the most basic differences, it is unlikely that he will immediately understand how a circle and an oval differ from each other.
Therefore, it is worth starting with such figures as a square, a triangle and a circle. And after the baby has mastered this basic trinity, you can move on to more complex forms.
Games with geometric shapes for children 1-2 years old
Look around
The most accessible way to study figures is to look around and note what shape this or that object has.
For example, you lay out plates on the table with your child and say: “The plates are round, this shape is called a circle.” Take a book for the night and note: “But the book is square, this shape is a square,” and so on.
Over time, you yourself will be able to ask your child what shape this or that object is at home, on the street. Compete on a walk who will notice more round objects, for example, the sun, a round puddle, a hollow in a tree. nine0003
Wall poster
Print geometric shapes on A4 sheets. Posters can be hung in the children's room at the level of the child's eyes.
During the day, ask your child to show where this or that geometric figure is.
You can also print small cards with geometric shapes from the link below. And during the day, look for objects similar to a square, circle, rectangle or triangle.
Gradually, the baby will begin to easily distinguish the main geometric shapes. nine0003 Download cards
Sorter
A variety of sorters are on sale - plastic and wooden, small and with a huge set of figures.
To begin with, it is better to choose a toy with a modest number of main figures.
But if you already have a sorter, maybe presented to a child as a gift, in which there are a lot of crosses, hearts and crescents, for a baby of one year of age it is better to temporarily remove most of the figures. You can add them as you grow older, thereby complicating the game. nine0003
At about a year old, the child begins to realize that the figurine fits easily through one hole, but does not fit at all into another. Therefore, he begins to be interested in the sorter. At first, the game will be very long, the baby clumsily picks up the figures and slowly rotates them, not always noticing the patterns. With practice, the child will begin to match the figure and the hole for it faster than adults.
Your task is to constantly pronounce the names of geometric shapes during the game. “This is a circle. The circle doesn't fit here. Let's see where the circle fits?". nine0003
Sorting items
This game works on the principle of finding common ground.
The child needs to attach the figure to the already typed number of the same forms. My guys, both Misha and Lyosha, showed interest in sorting closer to a year and a half.
Parts can be sorted not only by shape. When we mastered folding triangle to triangles, we began to come up with other bases for sorting, for example, by color or by size. To make it more interesting, I introduced a game format by connecting soft toys. The task immediately became a game, I asked: "Give the dog all the mugs, because she loves to play with the mugs most of all." So each of our toys has favorite geometric shapes. nine0003
To play with two children at the same time, the task had to be a little more complicated. So the youngest, Lyosha, I asked him to give his brother all the squares. And Misha, having received all the squares, laid them out from smallest to largest or came up with his own sorting system. In general, you can add a sorting element to a variety of games and activities, even household ones.
Learning geometric shapes with a 2-3 year old child
By the age of two, you can increase the number of shapes studied by adding a star, a trapezoid, a rhombus, an oval. During this year, it will be possible to master the concept of volume and basic shapes, for example, a cube, a ball, maybe a cone. nine0003
The previous games can be left with slightly more complicated rules. And also it is worth adding other entertainments from the list below.
Games with geometric shapes for children 2-3 years old
Closer to the age of three, visual-figurative thinking begins to develop, while earlier object perception was much more important. If at 1-2 years old the baby needed to touch everything, hold it in his hands, he literally “thought with his hands”, then by the age of three he already begins to be more interested in pictures, images. Therefore, starting from 2-3 years old, cards and other additional materials can be used more often. nine0003
Insert toy
This logic toy is designed for simple manipulations - to take out and then put back the object in a suitable cell.
Frame insert can be made from wood or plastic parts.
Small toy includes free-standing geometric shapes.
But there are also more complex frames in which, like in Tetris, you need to put all the figures to each other so as to fill the entire space.
Drawing with stencils
First, you can teach your child to paint over the stencil completely, for example, with gouache, and then show how to outline the figure along the contour. Stencils can be different - with an inner side or with outer edges.
You can buy plastic cards, use a special ruler for drawing, or make your own stencils. With Misha we had home-made stencils made of thick cardboard, and with Lesha I bought more durable plastic cards. The figures can be of different sizes, although for a start it is better to take 3-4 basic shapes. nine0003
Games with illustrations
In fact, this is the same search for objects, only not in the surrounding space, but in the picture.
This is great for training attention and observation. And most importantly, you can play with any children's book, for example, during evening reading before bedtime.
The child's task is simple - to find all the square, triangular or round objects in the picture. If there are too few geometric shapes in ordinary books, you can find special pictures. nine0003
Find the excess
You can develop logical thinking with the help of the game "Find the excess". The kid will need to choose from the proposed series of figures the one that does not fit.
To start with, you can use the cut out geometric shapes by putting 3 squares and one triangle. Ask the child to choose an extra figure.
Then, when he has already understood how to work with this kind of tasks, complicate the game. Lay out cards with images of square and triangular objects, again offer to remove the extra picture. nine0003
Be sure to ask why he chose this particular card.
Remember that children's logic does not always work in the same direction as yours, usually the child's eyes are wider.
So the kid can take another justification for excluding the subject, for example, the color or the characters in the picture, so you need to select images made in the same key. By the way, you can download the cards from us at the link below. To make logical rows, you will need to print this template in several copies. nine0003 Download cards
Arrange correctly
The child will need to sort the cards with pictures according to the figures that are depicted on them.
First, take two geometric shapes, 3-4 cards for each of them. Have your child divide the cards into two piles.
When the child copes with the task, increase the number of figures and, accordingly, cards.
It's okay if the kid makes mistakes, tell him how to complete the task correctly. After a while, he will easily cope on his own. nine0003
Sorting
Cut colored cardboard into colorful geometric shapes in different sizes. Now invite the child to arrange them in piles, for example, small blue squares in one direction, and large green triangles in the other.
Along with the study of geometric shapes, you will be able to improve your knowledge of colors and consolidate the concepts of more / less.
Constructor
To get out of the plane to study three-dimensional figures, you can simply play with the constructor or cubes. While building, address the child by naming the figures. nine0003
For example: "Give me a green cube, please", "Let's put a red arch here?" or “Where do we have round wheels?”. Designing helps to study geometric shapes, develop logical thinking and imagination.
Game "House for figurines"
When the child has already got acquainted with the main figures, you can play with him a game on the ratio of objects to the image. To do this, print out the cards and cut out the shapes. The child will need to put multi-colored figures in pre-prepared places on the cards - in their houses. nine0003
You can fill in the fields with ordinary geometric shapes, or you can fill in square, round or triangular objects.
Cards for playing with the baby can be downloaded from the link below.
Treasure hunt
You can start playing this game from 2-2.5 years old. Moreover, you can deal with both one child and several children, then a competitive moment will be added. If you study at home, then pick up voluminous geometric figures, for example, from a sorter or from a designer. nine0003
Put them in a deep bowl and cover with any cereal. Invite the kids to dig for grits and look for treasures. When a child finds a figurine to pick it up, he must name it. And if it's warm outside, and you go out to the playground, you can repeat this game in the sandbox, then you need to bury the forms directly in the sand. And the child should be equipped with a spatula.
Geometric Lotto
Print two copies of the cards with drawn geometric shapes. Leave one sheet whole - this will be the playing field. Cut the other, cutting out all the figures. Let the kid lay out all the shapes on the card, placing them in the designated fields.
When he masters this procedure, you can play loto, taking out one figure at a time and naming it. For example, you say "square", and the child must take out the square and put it in its place. nine0003
You can download cards for the geometric lotto from the link below. By the way, at first it is better to paint the figures with soft colors so that they do not distract the baby from the main task. And over time, you can replace multi-colored geometric shapes with pictures.

Geometric shapes have simple outlines for coloring - straight lines, clear angles, so they are often used as the first coloring pages. Using felt-tip pens or paints, the child remembers geometric shapes well, especially if parents give their names. You can do this unobtrusively, like this: "Now let's color this little square red" or "What color do you want to make a triangle?". nine0003
You can choose your coloring pages with geometric shapes or download a ready-made selection from us.
Application of geometric shapes for kids
Applications - a simple form of creativity that develops figurative thinking, imagination, as well as fine motor skills of hands. This useful activity becomes quite interesting for children closer to two years, when the child handles the glue stick without any problems. Moreover, at first, it is not so much the drawing up of pictures that causes interest, but the process of gluing itself. Therefore, there is no need to take complex figures and pictures, cut out different geometric shapes from colored paper and simply stick them to the canvas, so the child will quickly and firmly remember them. nine0003
When the stage of chaotic gluing of figures is over, you can determine specific places and ask the child to place the part exactly here. From this moment on, you can already connect your imagination and make simple compositions from geometric shapes - flowers, houses, trees, a sailboat, a train, etc.
You can create images yourself or use our templates for download.
There are also a variety of books for creativity, they include everything you need for applications, you just need to cut out the part and stick it in the designated place. nine0003
Among the teaching aids, the book “Color and Shape” from the “School of the Seven Dwarfs” series for children 1-2 years old should be noted separately. With it, in a game format, you can learn geometric shapes by gluing details to pictures.
And if you don't want to mess around with glue, sticker books can be used. I really liked the books with stickers from MOSAIC kids "Collect the picture". Bright pictures must be completed by sticking a sticker in the space provided.
With the use of educational games, the child will remember the names of geometric shapes much faster, learn to compare them, determining which of them is larger and which is smaller. Games with shapes develop spatial thinking and logic, they are aimed at forming a mathematical mindset, although sometimes they also involve imagination and fantasy.
