Circles, stars and hearts: finding shapes all around us

A toucan from gugiboard

Shapes help children make sense of the world: a wheel is a circle, a window is a square. gugiboard’s Shapes board makes them colorful and movable.

Five shapes, five colors

Tap any shape and five copies appear in different colors and sizes. Your child can drag them around and compare them.

Big and small

Ask “Which circle is the biggest?” or “Find the little star.” Comparing sizes is an important early math idea.

Shapes in the house

Plates are circles, books are rectangles, a slice of pizza is a triangle. Go on a shape hunt after playing.

For older children

Children of 5 to 7 can count sides and corners: a triangle has three, a square has four. They can also draw shapes on paper.

Build with shapes

Blocks, puzzles and play dough bring shapes into three dimensions. Screen play introduces; hands-on play completes.
