* Encourage children to use their fingers to point to each shape as they find it in the word search.
* For younger toddlers, use the shapes word search as a matching game by pointing to each shape and saying its name.
* For older toddlers, use the shape word search as a challenge to find the shapes on their own.
Remember: The most important thing is to have fun and be patient with your little ones as they learn and develop their skills!
