12 Shape Games for Kids


Studying shapes can feel a lot like learning a foreign language to kids. Rhombuses, trapezoids, spheres… even the NAMES are tricky. But thankfully, with lots of practice, students can memorize not only their crazy titles but also all of the characteristics that make each one special. Luckily, shape games can help!

These 12 playful games make it fun for children to dive into 2D and 3D shapes once and for all. For more shape fun, head to our shop for some Toothpick STEM Structures!
