Description
The circle is one of the first shapes that the infant / toddler experiences. This may be in the form of a ball, sphere or their teething ring. When they are very young, the concrete shape is sensorially absorbed as the Child grasps and plays with the object that is circular. At every level of development, the Child encounters the circle. The Parts and Types of a Circle Activity introduces the elementary Child to the abstract version of the circle. This comprehensive, quality product includes, classified and definition cards with a booklet that presents an overview of the material.
