‘Chicks – Shapes’ sorting game

About the game

A group of funny chicks have gathered together, but each one has an unusual shape. One looks like a diamond, another like a triangle, and yet another resembles a star. Can you find the right place for each chick?

‘Chicks – Shapes’ is a wooden shape-sorting board that helps children learn about geometric shapes through cheerful characters. Your little one examines the chicks shaped like squares, ovals, hearts, diamonds, triangles, stars and other shapes, and matches them to the corresponding slots on the board.

Twelve unusual chicks turn learning about geometric shapes into a colourful game.
