It was so nice to hear from one of my former nursery school students at Carousel Nursery School where the Shapels™ were created many years ago!  I’m so happy that your son is a fan of the SHAPELS™ today!  I was able to read a story to his class when I participated in the READ ACROSS THE VALLEY event on March 24^th.  Please be sure to visit our “Story Time” section in the Learning Center (under the category “Shapels™”) to follow along with new adventures of the Shapels™!

@Chantal Gerckens

I was so happy that you and your daughter Jessica were the winners of the free set of books in our recent drawing on Facebook.  I’ve known Jessica since she was a toddler, and I understand she is quite an artist!  Please send in some of her drawings and we’ll post them on the Gallery.  I’ll be happy to sign the books if you’d like to stop by!

Also, I know you inquired about an “app” for Shapels™ and yes we are working on one.  Many people have asked that same question.  It’s definitely “in the works!”  We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as it is available.

@Chasity Weiner

@Stephanie Trka

Hi Stephanie!  I’m so glad that you posted a copy of the advertisement for the Play and Learn Fair held yesterday in Ansonia, CT.  It was a huge success.  There was so much for the children to do and for the parents to learn about various organizations in our community.  I participated in the event by doing “thumbprints” for all the children who stopped by my table.  By the way, the characters were created as a result of my “thumbprint” art, which I have done for over 30 years.  Many years ago, the children in my nursery school class could not remember their shapes during circle time, so I added faces on each shape just like I did on my thumbprints.  Later on, I re-designed the characters to what you see today.  Please keep checking our website and Facebook page – we appreciate your support!  If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail us at shapels@shapels.com. 

@Mindy Hampton

Hi Mindy!  Welcome to the world of the Shapels™!  We are so appreciative of the support we have received on Facebook and other social media.  We hope that you enjoy learning about the program and using our website.  Take care.

@Jenny Ames

I can’t thank you enough for your enthusiasm and encouragement over the past two years.  As a kindergarten teacher, you have seen firsthand how the characters can be used to teach shapes to young children.  You’ve also seen the response of the children to the program – they connect with the characters and learn their shapes while having lots of fun!  Thanks again for everything!

@Pam Callaway

Thanks, Pam, for giving us a “thumbs up” for Shapels™!  We hope you enjoy using the website and getting to know what’s available in our program.  As “Daniel the Bear’s” Mom says, “Remember, learning is lots of fun.”  Take care.
