When You Find Colors and Shapes:
A Physically Interactive Early Math STEM-Based Children's Picture Book
Turn the pages, and you will see how fun colors and shapes can be. Find what you seek, and when you are through, you will be told just what to do. Shake or spin around and around. Climb up the mountain and come back down. Balance on one leg, jump, or bend, then run to share this with a friend.
This interactive concept book for young children combines physical activity, simple science, and early math while demonstrating cause and effect using the body in motion. Children identify colors and shapes, move as instructed, then observe where the shapes shift as a result of their moves. They come to understand geometric concepts like shape, size, space, and position. For example, when children jump up, the shapes fly up and hang in the air. When children spin around, centrifugal force sends the shapes into the form of a circle. When children curl their bodies tightly, the shapes form a ball. Imagination is required!

Understanding colors, shapes, and spatial sense helps children communicate better, describe things more effectively, and problem-solve. They learn to think about attributes of objects and make observations about similarities and differences, which leads to the ability to sort and classify items based on easy-to-recognize characteristics. Letters and numbers are just complicated shapes children eventually learn to recognize and name. Why not have fun doing it?
Moves in Order:
Shake, twist from side to side, lift one foot and balance, turn around, swing your arms up and over, bend over and sweep, curl into a ball, march, jump (shout “Hooray), walk straight ahead, run, tap the book, clap to start over.
