The child to understand the solids, the knowledge of shapes is essential. This is derived from the previous activities such as geometric presentation tray, geometric cabinet and geometric cards for cabinet. Materials for perception of dimension such as knobbed cylinders, pink tower, brown stairs, long rods and knobless cylinders create a profound platform for the understanding of solids. Stereognostic bags with geometric shapes play a prominent role in feeling and perceiving solids.

The child when works with botany cabinet, leaf cabinet, sandpaper globe, colour globe, land and water forms, shapes of continents etc, finds it more perceptive with the knowledge of shapes and solids.
