We have a fun giveaway for you today, for Real World Folding Geometric Shapes from Learning Resources!

Ladybug’s thoughts… she really enjoyed these even though they weren’t really meant for her! She thought they were really neat and has played with them a lot!

As for the boys, honestly, they weren’t too impressed since they weren’t as good for building, and more for learning. They thought they were neat, but haven’t explored them much.

My thoughts…the teacher in me really likes these. Having a hands on version of geometric shapes that represent real world objects makes for fun math learning! The plastic part used to close the shape and keep the insert inside isn’t as sturdy as I would like, I had to add a little bit of clear tape to a few of them to keep them from falling apart as we explored them, but it’s not a really big deal. I know I will love having these when we get to geometric shape lessons in math!

You can purchase these on Amazon here, and also directly on the Learning Resources website.
