Bread Shapes

To help my 3 year old learn his shapes, I simply cut all his bread food (toast, sandwiches, etc) into shapes. Yes, it takes longer to cut a circle out of a piece of toast, but now he will tell me which shape he wants and he can identify them, too. His friends love this and will often ask to eat a "triangle" when the come to our house. He's learned his shapes without a struggle.
