Description
Shapelings is a unique puzzle developed by us that is a mixture between crosswords and basic shape practice. Instead of having to spell a “word”, like with crosswords, you need to draw the shapes that make up an image in the spaces behind it! As expected, every space can only contain a single shape, so you need to also be a little smart with the order in which you draw them.
This mixture creates a real challenge that not only tests if an Apprentice can recognize and name their shapes, but also tests logical thinking and problem solving. All of that can be done with any single pen(cil) and nothing else. The shapes you draw yourself don’t need to be straight, or good, or perfect, as long as they’re recognizable as the correct shape for that space.
We’re very proud that we were able to create a puzzle that works based on basic shapes, which can already be enjoyed by very young kids.

Subject: Mathematics
The curriculum is split into six main subjects that align with your typical school subjects.
This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:
This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.
Faction: Puzzlepages
This resource is part of the Puzzlepages Faction.
But that's just one way to teach and explore its topic(s)!
You can always move to a different Faction to find a more effective way to teach the same topic.
Played a quiz? Try a game! Played a game? Try an escape room! And so on.

Charm: Educational Puzzle
This product is part of the Educational Puzzle charm.
Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:
Educational Puzzles are logic puzzles meant to build and strengthen specific skills. They are physical puzzles that must be played with pen and paper or by moving physical pieces.
Famous examples of such puzzles are Sudokus or Crosswords, but our resources show you can take it much further.
Spell: My First Shapes
This resource is part of the My First Shapes topic (or "spell").
Just like colors, shapes provide an easy way to categorize the world around us and break it into smaller parts. This helps understand the world better: now you can explicitly ask your parents for the square thing, for example. It also enables teaching crucial skills such as grouping and combining later.
