About Shapes and Colours

A free shapes game for the very young: see a shape, tap its name. Circle, square, triangle, star, heart and diamond, read aloud, with big buttons.

Shapes are usually a child's first piece of formal vocabulary that is not simply a noun for a thing they can hold, and they are learned by matching a word to a picture over and over. The set here is deliberately small and unambiguous - six shapes a young child meets everywhere - and each is shown in one strong colour, so the shape and its name are the only things to hold in mind at once. This is the gentlest game in the kids section and a sensible first one for a three-year-old.
