It’s a ton of fun and comes with shape cards. Students need to be playing, manipulating and creating with shapes all over the classroom, not just in the math center! Pattern blocks, shape cookies, and shape magnet blocks are distributed into various classroom centers.

Learning about 2D shapes is a must for every early childhood classroom.
