Confidence is fueled as children learn to use this tool to draw with accuracy and precision. Intermediate learning includes geometry, symmetry and spatial reasoning while learning angles and protractors.. Included are some unique shapes to ignite imagination.

This series lends itself to beautiful mosaics when combining the contrasting black with the pastel colors next to each other. Adults enjoy the aesthetics, while children fuel their imagination.
The chalkboard side allows for random mark-making, drawing or writing letters or numbers. Use the rectangles as literacy titles and teach rhyming words. For example, align 3 titles and write the letters A and T on the 2nd and 3rd. Teach the sounds letters make by adding a S, C, F or B in the front: SAT, CAT, FAT and BAT. Write numbers on the tiles and have the child count and put them in the correct order.Strengthen fine motor skills by having children trace around the shapes to assist in drawing a picture, making their own coloring book! Trace the shapes on construction paper, cut them out then paste them onto paper. A triangle pasted above a square is a house!
Practice collaborative play while following the rules of symmetry. Start with a long rectangle in the center and take turns adding a piece first on the left, then on the right. If a piece is added to the top, the next piece should be placed on the bottom.
