Whenever I start teaching my toddlers their shapes, I start with one shape and then add another once they have mastered the first one. I keep adding shapes while always review the shapes that they have mastered. We use videos, books, flashcards, and coloring pages. I keep adding shapes until they know circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval, diamond, star, heart, and crescent.


Shapes Songs
Here is my Shape YouTube List that we watch when one of my toddlers is learning their shapes. The list starts out by reviewing songs and then teaching each shape individually near the bottom of the list. Songs for each shape; circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval, diamond, star, heart, and crescent.
Shapes Flashcards
