Shapes Board Game for Toddlers

Is your toddler working on shapes? Every day, 2.5-year-old N decides whether he’s interested in shapes, numbers or letters on that particular day, and we just go with it 🙂

Before Christmas, I made him his first board game {Winter Clothes Board Game for Toddlers}, but while he liked it, he didn’t really know what to do with the custom die, and it didn’t survive long.

Six weeks later, when we tried this Shapes Board Game for Toddlers, N quickly figured out how to roll the die and had a great time rolling over and over again, even after the game was officially “over” 😉

(N was 2 years and 7 months old.)

Materials for Shape Board Game for Toddlers

• Printer.
• Laminator, laminating pouches (optional).
• PDF file (download below).
• 2 sheets of heavy paper.
• Paper cutter and/or scissors.
• Glue stick or sticky tape.

What’s in the printable PDF file?

The file contains one game board and one custom die template.

The game board shows a simple path from start to finish with basic shapes (heart, circle, triangle, square, star, rectangle) in each space. The custom die has one shape on each side. 

Print out the game board and the die template. Cut out the die at the black lines, fold at the dashed lines, and put it together with a little glue or sticky tape.

To play, roll the die, name the shape, and move your counter to the next matching shape. Repeat until you get to the finish.
