Shaper
Explore, Create, and Discover with Shapes! Unleash creativity and build foundational geometry skills with Shaper—a hands-on, open-ended activity that invites children to design, match, and compose vibrant patterns using a variety of colourful geometric pieces.
Children can choose to recreate designs from the double-sided pattern cards or explore freely by crafting their own patterns on the unique Shaper Boards—a square board with one large pattern space and a circle board divided into four distinct pattern spaces. As they play, children develop a deeper understanding of how individual shapes combine to form a whole, while reinforcing colour and shape recognition.
Perfect for guided activities or independent exploration, Shaper brings geometry to life in an engaging, tactile way. Ages 3yrs+.
Key Educational Benefits:
- Geometry Foundations: Promotes recognition of 2D shapes and how they fit together to form complex patterns.
- Visual-Spatial Awareness: Encourages children to analyse, rotate, and position shapes accurately.
- Fine Motor Development: Strengthens hand-eye coordination and precision through shape placement.
- Colour & Shape Recognition: Reinforces vocabulary and categorisation of colours and geometric forms.
- Creativity & Design Thinking: Supports open-ended exploration, patterning, and personal expression.
- Problem-Solving Skills: Enhances critical thinking as children determine how to recreate or innovate designs.
