All Kinds of Shapes: Your Child Is Learning Shapes, and Drawing Them, Too!

Your child has very likely been recognizing simple shapes such as squares, circles, and triangles. He may point them out in books, puzzles, or other everyday objects. With his growing fine motor skills, combined with this knowledge of shapes, he'll soon be able to draw these simple shapes. He may draw them on their own, in different colors and mediums, and he may also combine them to make different objects, such as the stereotypical house made of a square with a triangle on top.
