Geometric Insets: Red & White

Geometric Insets in red and white show every shape twice: once as a piece the child lifts into the hand and once as the opening it returns to. The strong contrast between the two colours gives the outline a sharp edge that can be read from across the room, and tracing that edge with two fingers prepares the hand for drawing and writing. Matching and naming the shapes builds the vocabulary a child later needs in geometry. Suitable from three years in the sensorial area.
