Help your child learn to recognise and draw 2D and 3D shapes, with this pack of Shapes activity flashcards.

The pack includes 24 double-sided Montessori style shapes. Each card features a different shape. On one side is a dot to dot, to use as a guide for drawing the shape.

Follow the game ideas included in the pack, to get the most out of your cards. The games encourage children to explore shapes in everyday objects, indoors and outside and to use other senses such as touch to deepen their learning.

The Shapes Flashcards pack is perfect for preschool (aged 2+), Reception (early years, ages 4-5 years) and Year 1 (ages 5-6 years).
