Publisher's Description of My Book of Shapes and Colors
My Book of Shapes and Colors is designed to help children learn and identify common shapes and colors while also developing their fine motor and early math skills. The ability to identify typical shapes like circle, square, triangle, and others is an important skill for your child to practice and develop. Not only is the ability to identify shapes an early geometry skill, but it can also help your child develop early problem solving skills. The ability to identify common colors is also an essential skill for your child. By developing these skills together your child will build a strong foundation for early learning.8 ¼ × 11 ? inches. paperback. 80 pages. full color.
I must say that these are very nice looking workbooks. Each 80-page workbook is printed on high-quality paper made especially for children learning how to write. The cute, highly-detailed illustrations, which are gorgeously colored, are also rather appealing. Looks aside, these workbooks are designed to encourage self-acquisition of skills. The Kumon approach of incremental mastery also fosters increased self-confidence in children. ~ Anh
