How to play

  1. Look at the loose piece and the spaces in the board.
  2. Tap or click the space with the same shape. You can also drag the piece into place; it is already the right way up.
  3. Fill the board, enjoy the picture, then try a second little board with the shapes in new places. Both boards appear in your result.

Playing with a keyboard? Press 1, 2, 3 or 4 to choose a space, following the numbers on the board. Or use the arrow keys to select a space, then press Enter or Space to place the piece.

A little home for every shape

Round edges or straight sides? Look at the piece together, then find the same outline in the board. Each space has the same color, so the shape is the clue. A piece placed somewhere else comes back for another try, with no lost turns or timer.

Tap the loose piece for a little clue to its matching outline. Your child still chooses where it belongs.

Make it right for your child

Your first game starts with three shapes: a circle, a square and a triangle. For a simpler choice, select two shapes in the parent panel. Choose four to add a semicircle. For different outlines, choose Little treasures in Parents: a star and a heart, then a flower at three shapes and an oval at four. Every game has two small boards at the chosen level. Changing the level or shape set starts two new boards, and your choice is remembered for next time.

Take turns finding a round edge or tracing a straight side in the air. Let your child explore one shape at a time; there is no need to name it before making a match.

During play, click or touch and hold “Parents” for two seconds, or type parent. You can change the level, sound, background and motion, or switch off the gentle hint that appears after a pause.

Ages are a guide. An adult can help with the first piece, then let little hands take over. Play together, repeat a favorite level or take a break whenever you like.
