About

Sort flat shapes with Bruno the bear builder. Children find which three shapes go together, work out the rule behind Bruno's sorts, sort triangles, squares and long rectangles by shape, and place new shapes by their number of sides. Every direction is read aloud, and wrong answers get a gentle spoken hint.
