Here is the perfect way to get your child ready for starting school. Young learners will enjoy all of the kindergarten readiness activities, including learning to count objects by color, shape, or a combination of both.
Colors, Shapes & Counting features the comical adventures of Rollie Roundman, Trollie Triangle, and Rockford Rectangle. These playful characters help preschoolers master basic skills and concepts for the kindergarten classroom through songs, laughter, and games. Children will be so captivated by the bright, action-packed animation and stimulating soundtrack, they’ll want to watch and play along over and over again.
Even advanced learners will be challenged by the concepts. Besides basic ones, preschoolers also learn unusual colors like maroon and turquoise. They discover polygons, trapezoids, the differences between a square and a rectangle, and more. They enjoy counting objects up to 20 by color, shape, or a combination of both (important preschool sorting skills).

“My daughter LOVES it! As my official 2 1/2 year old product tester, she can attest that she loves her ‘Colors Movie,’ referring to the Colors, Shapes and Counting DVD. I spent many years as an elementary school teacher convincing parents and students that sitting on the couch watching TV was not the ideal way to spend the afternoon. However, in times when necessary (rainy days, quiet times, sick days) the right programming can make all the difference. I have a number of shows and movies that I STRONGLY believe are of tremendous advantage for children. One of these is Colors, Shapes and Counting. The video, in a very animated fashion, invites the viewer to sing, to learn the colors, shapes and numbers. Why is it a Smarty Pants Product of The Week? Lets just say that my munchkin is still singing . ‘Red and Yellow mixed together make the color orange!’ a verse in track 11 of the DVD, and running around telling me every shape and color she can find in the housetrack 7’s ‘What color is it?’ Cant argue with that!—Smartypantsmama.com, May 2009
“I can’t tell you how much my son loves your Colors, Shapes & Counting. After a week, he knows every word, and walks around all day singing Red… Apple… Red… Apple…. Red, Red, Red. etc. Thanks for being so creative. He’s really learning his shapes. He loves to tell me how many points a shape has. He will say Please give me that pillow…the rectangle one with four points?”— Matt H.
“An interactive and amusing way for preschoolers to learn colors, shapes and how to count up to 20.”—Kid Picks, USA Today
“Utilizing music, songs and a creative use of computerized graphics, here is a video that young children will enjoy while learning. Well-paced and thoughtfully presented, children will learn simple but basic colors, shapes and numbers. Even some of our toddler testers were captivated by the bright colors and shapes on the screen. Children watched it again and again.”—National Parenting Center Seal of Approval
“Narrated by three geometric dudes named Rollie Roundman, Trollie Triangle, and Rockford Rectangle, this fast-paced program works on many levels and will be enjoyed by younger children. Its structure is good, starting out with the basics (such as counting to five, or presenting the concept of a circle) and then moving to more advanced territory (counting to 20, and examining pentagons). The best segments deal with counting and shapes. The sound is clear throughout, and the lyrics are fun and informative.” —School Library Journal
