Why shapes and colors?Shapes and colors are some of the first things children learn to name, and they are building blocks for math, art, reading and describing the world. Children first match, then point to the one you name, and finally say the name themselves. These hands-on cards let little ones see, touch, dot, trace and build each shape and color until the names stick.
