The Baby Bee has been learning about shapes for a few months, now. Currently, her favorite shape is the circle, and she will excitedly call out, "Kirkle!" whenever she sees one around the house, in a store or from her car seat. Interestingly enough, most baby/toddler toy manufacturers have canonized the circle, triangle, square, heart and star as the must-learn shapes. Emma's Mom and Dad find themselves wondering where the love has gone for ovals, rectangles and the occasional hexagon. :)
Among Emma's favorite shape-learning toys are her tool bench and her shape cookie jar. Even though the cookie jar is aimed at 12-month-olds, Emma absolutely adores it, as it cheerfully sings to her about hearts and stars and giggles encouragingly whenever Emma pushes a shape through the corresponding hole. It's just a jar full of happiness.
