About Shape Sorter

Nine or sixteen colorful shapes fill a grid, and all of them match except one. Sometimes the odd one is a different shape, like a heart among stars, and sometimes only the color gives it away. Your child taps it to move on through five quick rounds.

How to play

  1. Look at all the shapes in the grid.
  2. Find the one with a different shape or color.
  3. Tap the odd one out, or try again after a gentle nudge.
