Triangles, rectangles, and circles, everything in the village is a colorful shape! What buildings and characters can you create with these shapes?
A rolling ball, stacking blocks, pointed roofs: as children grow, they become curious about - and eventually begin to recognize - all the shapes hidden in their everyday surroundings. Coloring, matching, dividing and combining shapes are great activities for young learners, and will help them identify and analyze basic shapes.
“Shape the Village” is a high-design app created to stimulate children’s imaginations while educating them about shapes. This lively village, illustrated in bright colors that draw the eye, is jam-packed with engaging characters and buildings with personality - all made up of circles, triangles and squares!
16 different activities focus on the definition, appearance, composition and distinguishing characteristics of different shapes to help 3-5 year-old children develop spatial intelligence and essential geometry skills. Children will be motivated to complete each activity, helping to construct the village buildings and characters. In this village, even the trucks and gorillas have engaging faces and whimsical appeal!
The easy-to-learn activities are designed so that young children can perform them without texts or tutorials. Building and character rewards appear after the completion of each exercise, encouraging kids to continue and complete all the shape activities.
The extra “Workbook” feature suggests printable, fun-filled activities and games for parents and teachers to interact with children and help them further increase their knowledge of basic shapes in everyday lives. Parents and teachers can also monitor and manage each child’s learning progress for each activity.
Features of “Shape the Village” are as follows:
-16 varied activities to teach kids all about circles, triangles and squares
-No need for tutorials: the app has an intuitive, child-friendly design
-Interactive, motivating rewards for activity completion
-“Day” and “night” modes: the characters sleep at night just like kids!

Latest reviews of Shape the Village - Interactive Introduction on Circle, Triangle and Square for Kids app for iPhone and iPad
Fun and colourful app for kids!
My grandson likes this app however, one of the scenes where you assembling the boat, the voice keeps labelling the rectangle a square!
My 3.5yo enjoys this game, but I wish I had researched more before purchasing. Its education value is pretty limited and the graphics are gaudy and they actually make the cat aggressive. Also, my son keeps asking why the wild west village does not work and asks me to "fix" it. The workbook only has value if you can print from your device (we cant). Would not recommend to friends.
My 2year old daughter loves this! And its so cute to look at!
The activities are designed like games which makes it more motivating for players. I thought the sound effects were very children appropriate. Quite a child friendly app :)
