Smart Snacks Shape Sorting Cupcakes by @LearningHandsOn ! A Super Sweet way to Learn our Shapes!

Have you ever walked into a toy store and felt that excitement like you did when you were a child?? Everything is so bright and new and none of the pieces are missing and you just feel soooo excited to be there!! Well that is how I felt when I saw the Smart Snacks Shape Sorting Cupcakes from Learning resources!! They are the sweetest looking toys I have ever seen and they are helping my young one learn her shapes!! Say what???? Yup you heard me!! They are cute, fun and kids are learning while they play! It’s the best of both worlds!!

When I first brought out the Smart Snacks Shape Sorting Cupcakes my daughter squealed and said “Eat!! Eat!!”. So I had to take a few minutes and tell her these are toys for playing! So we started out slow with some pretend play the first time because she is young and I didn’t want to overwhelm her. She loved bringing each and everyone of us a treat to “eat”. She took them over to her “oven” and baked them for us for all of about a half of a second and yelled “ahhdahhh!” Which is her version of All Done 🙂 and started passing them out to everyone. She had the brightest smile on her face and looked so proud of herself! I love when she gets that proud look on her face, kids should be able to feel proud sometimes.

I had plans of showing her just how fascinating these little cupcakes could be when you took them apart and teaching her the shapes and colors and working on her fine motor skills while we fit each little cupcake back together. I couldn’t wait!! Well the joke sure was on me this time! I sat her down and brought out the sweet little cupcakes and got myself all prepared for this huge “teachable moment” when all of a sudden she picked up one of the cupcakes and squealed “Look!! Star!!” So I got this really confused look on my face and said “let Mommy see” and what do ya know…. she had the star cupcake in her hand. Then I heard a giggle to my left and there stood my oldest daughter in the hallway giggling. I asked her how in the world did her sister know there was a star under that cupcake and she grinned at me and said “Mom I hate to tell you this but she likes it way better when I teach her things.” We all got a real big laugh out of it! 🙂

There are plenty of things you can learn with the shape sorting cupcakes other than just learning your shapes. Of course pretend play is a great tool that teaches all kinds of things and then you can ask your child what color the star is or maybe ask them to find you the blue cupcake. Tons of ways to learn and tons of fun and at a pretty affordable price!! You can grab one from amazon for $15.65 by clicking here!
