First Shapes Discovery Board
Let us tell you about the First Shapes Discovery Board, Maya’s absolute favorite since she learned to grab! When she was little, she loved chewing on the wooden shapes (especially that star!) and exploring all the different textures. Each shape: the circle, square, triangle, and her beloved star, is a different shade of blue, and she was completely fascinated by it.
Now that she’s a little older, she enjoys sorting each shape into its matching spot on the board. It’s amazing to see her match them all perfectly! This toy isn’t just fun, it’s also Montessori-inspired, with natural materials, sensory elements, and a design that encourages learning through independent exploration. It’s been such a wonderful way for her to learn about shapes, colors, and textures as she grows.
