Shape Posting Game

Post, Sort, Learn: Hands-On Shape Recognition for Early Years

Make shape learning irresistible. The Shape Posting Game invites children to post picture cards into four brightly coloured “post-boxes”, matching circles, squares, triangles and rectangles as they go. With every post, they build shape recognition, visual discrimination and early categorisation skills—perfect for EYFS classrooms, nurseries and home learning corners.

Real-World Images, Double-Sided Discovery

Each of the 40 double-sided cards features a real-life photo with a standout shape on one side and a precise line drawing of the same shape on the reverse. Children connect everyday objects to core geometry, then flip for instant confirmation and discussion. Extend the play with counting, sorting by colour or shape, and simple tallying to introduce early maths vocabulary and retrieval practice.

Built for Small Hands & Big Ideas

Little learners handle cards with confidence thanks to child-friendly dimensions (50 × 35 mm). Colour-coded post-boxes guide accurate matching, support independence and reduce cognitive load so children can focus on recognising, sorting and talking about shapes. Use it for group stations, intervention work or quick assessment checks—the set packs away fast and stores neatly between sessions.
