Did you know that learning about shapes helps with learning letters and numbers? It does! Being able to recognize shapes helps with distinguishing between the different letters. Add in the sounds the letters make, and you're on your way to reading and writing!
Here are some shape and alphabet books that I think make learning shapes and letters fun.
