Geometry for Toddlers!?

Geometry before age three? You bet! Toddlers learn geometry through their eyes, hands, and bodies as they crawl through tunnels, run around corners, and stack boxes. Your little explorer gains spatial sense as she experiences how her body moves in relation to objects and structures in the world. As she moves “my body” and “my things”, she starts to show her understanding of location and position by using or understanding words like on, off, under, below, in and out, and of distance by using words like near, far, and next to.
