Shapes and colors are crucial for a good foundation and Tag has released a line that caters to this specific area. They combine solid wooden shapes with bright primary colors in all kinds of toys. Puzzles are a wonderful to begin to distinguish shapes and Tag gives several types with which to do this. Whether it's the jumbo knob puzzle or a shape sorting cube, these toys are sure to entertain and educate. But these puzzles and games will also help with the Part/Whole concept since the shapes are often divided into pieces. The child not only has to create the shape, she also has to find its match.

TAG will also help your child as he or she moves from the "building blocks" of learning to more advanced concepts. As long as he's in school, letters and numbers will be a part of his daily routine and this toy company can help introduce these concepts. Puzzles help with sequencing and recognition, but Tag takes it a step further. They've created puzzles with activities that help your child learn to use letters and numbers as well as recognize them. Now your child can use counting beads while he finishes his puzzle.
