Little Coach House wooden shape boards are the perfect hands-on, tactile resource for your little ones. Your child can begin to recognize some basic 2D shapes by carefully tracing them with their finger or using the tracing stick. They have designed their boards to be reversible so you have the most recognisable 2D shapes children in the early years should know and then on the reverse are other 2D shapes. The shapes on the front are a circle, triangle, square and a rectangle. On the reverse is an oval, pentagon, hexagon and a heptagon.
Using the shape boards children will be able to feel each shape and its properties and start to use the language to describe them e.g. a square has 4 straight sides.
Shape tracing boards are made from solid beech and finished in a natural raw oil.
Wooden tracing stick is made from beech dowel.
Wooden shape boards are 50cm long and 11.5cm wide.
The beech wood tracing stick is always 10cm long.
