Ages 3–4: start with noticing and matching. Read the prompt together and let your child point before choosing.
Recognize and compare shapes, notice sides and corners, and practice spatial relationships with illustrated objects.
Learning levels are starting points, not assessments. These activities supplement learning with a grown-up; they do not promise school readiness or replace a curriculum. Take breaks and choose a level that feels comfortable.
