Giant Linking Shapes

Designed for younger children aged 2 years and above, the Giant Linking Shapes set contains 16 chunky, interlocking pieces in four bright colours, perfect for early shape recognition and fine motor skill development. The set includes four squares, four rectangles, four circles, and four triangles, each featuring Braille labels to support inclusive learning. These oversized pieces interlock smoothly, making them easy to manipulate and connect both indoors and outdoors. This tactile and visual resource is ideal for sorting, pattern creation, shape sequencing, and colour recognition activities. The large dimensions of the pieces-rectangles measuring 24 x 17 cm and squares 20 x 20 cm-ensure visibility and ease of handling for small hands, promoting confidence and engagement in early learning settings.

Educational Benefits:

• Introduces basic geometric shapes and Braille recognition for inclusivity.
• Develops fine motor coordination through interlocking and handling large pieces.
• Supports colour recognition, sorting, and patterning skills.
• Encourages spatial reasoning and sequencing through shape connection activities.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use pieces to build shape-based structures individually or collaboratively.
• Organise sorting activities by shape, colour, or Braille labels.
• Create repeating patterns and sequences on tables or floors.
• Encourage outdoor play where children link shapes to form large shapes or designs.
