Benefits

The patterns are intentionally left white, allowing children to use their own imagination and choose their own colors.
Card #1 introduces all the shapes. Children learn size relativity as well as different types of triangles.
The next several cards demonstrate how halves and parts combine to form wholes.
Designs 8-16 display simple, recognizable images with each shape outlined for children to find and match. This is like guided puzzle play.
Card #13 with the fish features a special “shaded” shape where a piece can be placed on top of the first layer to create another dimension. This can be done where any shaded shapes appear, or wherever else children desire.
Designs 17-26 are more challenging images. The individual shapes are not outlined, so children must find the correct fit. There is usually more than one combination of shapes to complete the images.

Reviewer: Eileen Orth (United States)

I like the fact that there are so many layers of learning in this item. Learning colors, sorting, visual discrimination, imagination, following a patter, and the list goes on. You can't go wrong with purchasing this toy. LOVE it!
