Wow, what a clever, inspired way to teach shapes, colours, numbers. Contained in a neat, white slipcase is a sturdy board book, split down the middle, boldly coloured shapes on left and right hand sides, from one red square (divided into two halves), to two blue triangles, 3 green rectangles and so on. Mix the flaps up and you can create pages of different combinations – a row of purple diamonds and yellow circles for example. The possibilities are almost endless, and there’s something deeply satisfying about making the new spreads. Children will learn about ratios (the shapes come in different sizes) as well as about colour, shape and counting. Neat! ~Andrea Reece
How many shapes and colours can you find inside? Open the flaps and count the shapes one by one, then play with the flaps to create your own combinations. The choice is yours! This stunning book encourages the reader to explore and discover shapes, colours and numbers through play, inviting them to open a series of flaps, counting the different-coloured shapes as they go. A book without words that is full of delight, its simplicity speaks for itself.
