Shape Lacing Cards - Toddler, Preschool Fine Motor Fun Activity

Circles, squares, triangles and seven more. These Montessori-inspired Shape Lacing Cards give little hands a whole new way to explore 2D shapes: by tracing every edge and curve with yarn. Shape recognition that sticks because they felt it first.

Hi, I'm teacher Natalie! Before children can write, draw, or solve early math problems, they need to understand shapes — not just name them on a flashcard, but truly internalize their form.

That's what these Shape Lacing Cards do. When a child laces a circle, they feel the continuous curve. When they lace a triangle, they feel the three distinct corners.

That sensory experience is what makes shape knowledge last — and it builds the hand strength they need for writing at the same time.
