Wow how many details !

But I don’t think that I’ll teach this to my son yet.

3

Thanks a lot for sharing!! My son has learned these shapes and now I can move on to the POI’s :slight_smile:

4

This is great Nikita! I hadn’t seen this website and it is awesome :yes: This way we can prepare materials ahead of time and have kind of a plan.

5

Very good, tx! k!
Is there a .cat file of these shapes? I am going to check it out :slight_smile: .

6

THanks for sharing Nikita. This is a good next step for a child after they have learned their shapes.
I checked the website too and it has such POIs for planets too :slight_smile:

7

oops almost forgot your karma point! here it is …

8

thanks for sharing!!

9

Awesome information! You have also informed me of what POI should be like thankyou. karma for you

10

I actually posted an upload with these POIs and pictures. The link is http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=2837. I think most of the POIs are the same and it has the roots if anyone wants to take a look. I printed it out and used it on cards for our Doman Encyclopedic knowlendge program.

11

thanks Nikita & Linzy .this will help me to teach him more about shapes… I taught him shapes but never gave him the details…
karma to both of u!

12

Wow! :slight_smile:

This is just what I was looking for! I have just started making EK cards for my 3 mo. old grandson and wanted to start with simple basics. Initially I plan on using the shapes for Infant Stimulation and later add the POI’s. Your posting saved me a lot of time and research. Thank you!

thank you Nikita & Linzy! I had just started making my own using powerpoint (autoshapes feature) and just printing it out and your posts helped a lot! the website has a lot of other pieces of information too!
