{"product_id":"shape-matching-game-for-kids-with-colorful-shapes-fun-learni","title":"Shape Matching Game for Toddlers","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmall children learn shape and colour by handling them, not by being told. The Shape Matching Game gives them the material to do it: a set of bright, chunky pieces and matching openings, so a child works out by trial and error that the triangle only goes one way. The moment it drops through is the moment the concept lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe play covers a lot of ground at once. Matching a piece to its slot builds shape recognition and early problem solving; naming the colours builds vocabulary; and the pinch-and-place motion strengthens exactly the fine motor control that later goes into holding a pencil. It also happens to be quiet, which parents notice. Playing alongside a child rather than watching adds language to the exercise: naming each shape and colour aloud as it goes in roughly doubles what the toy teaches in one session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces are sized and finished for small hands, with smooth edges and bright, easily distinguished colours. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Safety: this toy contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3 years, who may choke on them. Adult supervision is required during play. Check pieces regularly and stop using any that are cracked, chipped or damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape sorting and matching play set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds shape and colour recognition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelops fine motor control and problem solving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChunky pieces sized for small hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth edges, wipe-clean surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot for children under 3 - contains small parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips from Kites of the Harbor, 75 Main St, Sag Harbor, NY 11963.
