About this game
Shape Match lets toddlers practice four basic shapes: the circle, square, triangle and star. Your child drags each colorful shape onto its matching outline. If dragging is still tricky, they can tap a shape and then tap the outline instead, so every child can succeed. Matching a solid shape to an outline is an early visual skill that later helps with letters and numbers, which are shapes too. Each round uses two to four shapes, so the game gets a little harder as it goes. Afterwards, go on a shape walk together: look for circles in clocks and plates, squares in windows, and triangles in rooftops.
Questions parents ask
What age is Shape Match for?
Ages 3 to 4. Children who can tap and drag on a tablet usually manage it straight away.
What if my child cannot drag yet?
They can tap a shape and then tap its outline. Both ways count as a match.
