"When You Find Colors and Shapes: A Physically Interactive Early STEM-Based Children's Picture Book
Turn the pages, and you will see how fun colors and shapes can be. Find what you seek, and when you are through, you will be told just what to do. Shake or spin around and around. Climb up the mountain and hike back down. Jump, balance, sweep, or bend, then run to share this with a friend.
Children are introduced to an interactive learning experience with this captivating concept book as it seamlessly blends physical activity, simple science, and early math to make learning about cause and effect both fun and engaging. Children identify colors and shapes, then move as directed and see where the shapes land. The shapes defy gravity as children jump, form a circle when they spin, and make a path when they walk. This book introduces basic science and geometric concepts like shape, size, space, and position in an easy-to-understand, playful manner. Spark children's curiosity and imagination as they explore, move, and discover the wonders of shapes in motion!
