When Is the Best Time to Introduce My Toddler to Shapes?
Your toddler is likely to be 2 years old or older before they can grasp the concept of geometric shapes. So 2 years old+ is the perfect age to start activities and games involving shapes.
The expectation is that they will be able to identify some basic shapes by the time they are 3 years old. But, remember that all kids develop and learn differently.

How Can I Use My Shape Colouring Pages?
Our free printable shapes are great for kids to decorate and colour. But they can be used for lots of other things too. Here are some simple activity ideas.
Make Your Own Foam Shapes
Use the different shapes as templates. Print and draw around them on foam sheets (US / UK / CA) to make your own kids toy. This craft idea won’t take you long to make. You can use them to create all different shape pictures, like a house. And you can also use them in the bath!
Create a Cute Shape Suncatcher
First, cut out your shape and use it as a stencil. Draw around your outline on contact paper (US / UK / CA) using a Sharpie (non-sticky side).
Then peel off the backing and place it on a table sticky side up. Let your toddler decorate their shape with tissue paper. Finish by trimming around the edge of the shape. Then display it in your window.
Tip: tape down the contact paper to stop it from moving during the activity.
