Shape Match Adventure is a Montessori-style shape sorter. Children drag a shape to its matching outline, starting with the circle, square, triangle and rectangle and moving on to the oval, diamond, star, heart, pentagon, hexagon and octagon — a much wider set than most shape games bother with.
The clever part is what comes after the plain shapes. Children then match shapes to real objects built from them: an apple, banana, cherries and grapes, a carrot, ice cream, cake, a fish, butterfly, bird, turtle, snail, elephant, rabbit, the sun, moon and clouds. That step is where shape recognition turns into actually seeing shapes in the world, which is the whole point of teaching it.
