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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces basic geometric shapes and Braille recognition for inclusivity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelops fine motor coordination through interlocking and handling large pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports colour recognition, sorting, and patterning skills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages spatial reasoning and sequencing through shape connection activities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse pieces to build shape-based structures individually or collaboratively.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganise sorting activities by shape, colour, or Braille labels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate repeating patterns and sequences on tables or floors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage outdoor play where children link shapes to form large shapes or designs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInformation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAges: 2 years and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 16 interlocking shapes: 4 squares, 4 rectangles, 4 circles, 4 triangles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangle size: 24 x 17 cm; Square size: 20 x 20 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures Braille on each shape for inclusive learning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238443421809,"sku":"ZZ0068","price":199.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/zz0068_giant-linking-shapes_v1_5.webp?v=1760001091","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/giant-linking-shapes-sorting-patterning-set","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
