Description
Shapes and colors are some of the first things that children learn to consciously recognize and play with. This resource teaches the very simple basics first, then combines them for maximum effect, and then goes beyond that by presenting them in weird configurations (such as an oblong triangle).
You might be surprised by how early (and easily) young brains can pick up on this. That’s probably because it is a very natural first step to understanding more complex things in the world. Because, after all, what is a tiger, or a chair, or a smartphone, if not an amalgamation of basic shapes and colors?
This resource only explores shapes. Check out My First Colors for the resource on color, which also has exercises that combines both.

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: Teachers
This resource is part of the Teachers 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: Lesson Material
This product is part of the Lesson Material charm.
Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:
Lesson Material refers to anything you can directly use in a classroom or when homeschooling. They are a guide for Guardians so they know what to do/teach, as well as the textbook or initial explanation of a skill/topic for Apprentices.
This charm represents the base product of our curriculum and the type of resource you’d use in a typical school setting.
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.
