Today's episode is all about shapes! Learning about shapes is foundational to your child's cognitive development; by teaching your children about shapes from an early age, you are helping: to augment their communication skills, to develop their pre-reading and writing skills, to enhance their creative skills, to develop their logical thinking skills through sorting, and to give them an understanding of the basics of geometry. In this episode, we discuss concept books that will help you teach your younger children to identify and label shapes as well as books for your older children that simply have fun with shapes. I also recommend a few toys and activities that you can do with your child to supplement these shape books. Happy Reading!
