Matching Colors and Shapes Game for Children - Toddlers and Preschoolers. A fun animated video which helps children to match different shapes and colors. A fish theme with bright, vibrant colors. An interactive way to teach your child different shapes and colors.

Teaching your kids the different shapes and their names is one step, the other which might be linked to it is actually teaching them the colors and playing the game of matching in order to give them the chance to point out similar shapes and be able to spot out colors.

When we mention shapes, it is not just about the geometric ones that are found out there, but we are also referring to the different shapes found in general (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-uRABe5sFE). These shapes could be about boxes, fish, circles, balls, and any other thing, because people refer to objects differently, one might refer to a box as a box, while another might call it a square.

In this educational video, the main aim is to give kids the chance to pay attention to the shapes they see in front of them and give them the chance to match them with the similar ones, not just that, but the aim of this video is also to teach kids the colors and give them the chance to point them out when they are asked to.

The shape focused on in this video is the fish and the game here is asking the kids to either find out the fish with a specific color or else find the shape that looks exactly like the one shown but which might be different in color. This is one good game to give the kids the chance to differentiate between colors and know their names, and at the same time know when specific shapes are exactly the same.

This is one of the methods that could be used for the same purpose, but there are millions of others found out there, it will always depend on the creativity of the parent and the methods which he/she thinks will be the most effective with his/her kids. It could be a fish, it could be the cubes toys, it could be any other thing which they have similar shapes of and sometimes parents could even do it all with paper and let the kids point out the similar shapes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU1x8oIcvT0).

Teaching the toddlers, kindergarten kids and preschoolers the shapes and colors might be at first difficult, but when you keep trying and showing them the same things over and over again, they will stay in their heads and they will memorize them.

On our channel, you could come across different methods and techniques which you could follow to teach your kids shapes and let them know about the names of the colors. Kids could learn the 3D and 2D shapes in order to understand what these actually are or how do they look like (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmfCdqxTjEw), there is also the method of the shapes in real life which will then make it easier for the kids to point out the shapes while they are walking around and tell their names (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9nMr4P843o), the most important thing is to take it all step by step in order not to overload the kid's mind with information that he/she will not be able to keep, tell them about one shape before moving on to the second and before giving the kid several ones and asking him/her to guess what it is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPNZ0Jblg_A).

There are some general tips which the parents should follow when they are teaching their kids something in order to succeed while homeschooling them. These tips include:
- Taking it easy with the kids because they are still not mature enough to remember everything and recognize everything they learn or are exposed to.
- Parents should also choose some easy methods and manage to see which ones are turning to be effective with their kids more than the other and these are the ones they should focus on.
- Parents should also be well aware of the steps they are taking, they should move through these steps easily and take them slowly, to give the kid's mind the chance to grasp everything.

Enjoy watching this video about shapes and colors with your kids and let us know how much effective it turned out to be with them at the end.
