## Description

Highlights Shapes is an ad-free, preschool-friendly educational game created by Highlights for Children and Colto. Kids travel through imaginative worlds—Ancient Jungle, Magical Underwater, Mysterious Space, Jurassic Journey, Savanna Safari, and Sweet Arctic—to learn shapes, colors and color mixing through six progressing puzzle packs that include FREE Ancient Jungle and FREE Sweet Arctic. The puzzles increase in difficulty and feature 11 shapes and 11 colors with color mixing to build early math and vocabulary skills.

Benefits include improved critical thinking, problem solving, and fine motor skills, plus growing confidence as children match, sort, and categorize. With 3 language options (US English, UK English, Spanish), progress tracking, replay, and an ad-free, COPPA Safe Harbor environment, Highlights Shapes offers a safe, developmentally appropriate introduction to school readiness.

Highlights Shapes is praised for its engaging, educational shape puzzles and calming gameplay, with broad appeal and good value.
