Meet The Shapes is a thoroughly "child friendly", 30-minute DVD that introduces preschoolers and kindergartners to eight common shapes with the help of charming animated characters. After watching this technically flawless recording, the infant or toddler will easily be able to identify circles, diamonds, octagons, ovals, rectangles, squares, stars, and triangles. This DVD is enhanced with chapter selections, a "Barn Dance", "Dance with Your Favorite Shape", and a "Flashcards" feature. Also very strongly recommended for families, day care centers, preschool classrooms, and elementary school DVD libraries are the two previous titles in this simply outstanding series: Meet The Letters and Meet The Numbers.

My son loves this DVD and all the other Preschool Prep DVDs. The characters are entertaining and the DVD does a good job of showing where shapes are in everyday items. My son (18 months) has watched this DVD twice and already knows some shapes and can point them out in everyday things.

My twins love "Meet the Shapes." They are 18 months old and both learned the names of all eight shapes after watching the video a couple of times. They love the part where the shapes all dance together. They get up and dance with the shapes every time they watch it. There is a menu selection where they can choose their favorite shape and dance with it. They could do this for hours. This is the only birthday present that I am going to give this year!

This was an excellent way for my son to review his shapes and keep his attention which at 3 is sometimes hard to do. I was also thrilled when my 14 month old daughter also started learning to say the names of the shapes!

My grandaughter is 18 months old and in two weeks really does know the alphabet. She is eager to point out the letters she recognizes in books, on signs and anywhere she sees them. We also have the shapes and colors. I highly recommend them!

My husband and I are both teachers and a fellow teacher & friend recommended the Preschool Prep videos and we've been amazed. My son loves the videos. He's learned his shapes and letters in about three weeks. The key to these videos is the constant repetition. Being skeptic, I even tested him by drawing various shapes and finding objects of different shapes, but guess what...he truely knew them. I highly recommend the series of videos from Preschool Prep.

My son who is 15 months loved this dvd. He was able to identify the different shapes after having seen it just 3 o 4 times.

My daughters (1.5 & 2.5 yrs. old) love this movie!! They beg me to put it on & yes they are learning their shapes (even my 18 month old!) It might be annoying to someone not viewing the movie because it reapeats the names of the shapes over and over (that's how they remember the nemes & associate it with the shape on screen) but the animated shapes are adorable and doing cute little things that my daughters find hilarious! It's short and cute and perfect for little ones who don't want to sit too long! I am going to buy the rest of the series!! Well worth the money!!

I checked out this movie at least 5x from the library on request of my children. My now 5 year old loved it when she was little. My 2 year old son keeps asking for "shape movie", "shape movie". He knows his shapes and just loves watching this movie... I can't argue with that. Finally, I'm just going to buy it.

I bought this video for my 22 month old daughter and thanks to this video she knows what a star, square, octagon is amoung other shapes. this is great video for toddlers to learn numerous shapes. definitely recommend it to other parents.
