let's learn about shapes


Get your littles thinking early on, and they’ll be way ahead when they start school.  Colors, the family, but it’s important to teach them shapes also. And Which Shape Should I Be? by Pamela Kennedy with illustrations by Holli Conger (B&H Kids, 2019) may be just the place to start. 

                For each shape there is a little rhyme, along with a picture of the shape, and then several shapes with instructions to find the right one.  The vibrant colors and whimsical drawings will delight any child, so learning is a joy, not a chore.
                But there is also a life lesson here. As the child learns about different shapes, she also is taught that people are different shapes also, but that’s okay, because that’s the way God made each of us to be.  Instilling this lesson early will hopefully cut down on bullying later, and hopefully kids will learn that they don’t have to resort to extremes to get to what they think is the perfect body, because they’ll realize that they already have the perfect body for the individual that God created each of them to be.
