A new Laurie Berkner single for kids, "Let's Make A Shape," is out today.

Learn shapes with Laurie! Laurie Berkner's catchy new single, "Let's Make A Shape," is all about the building blocks of geometry. Circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles each have their moments to shine, as kids learn to find, draw, and even create their own unique shapes.

"I had the idea to write a song that helps kids learn the names of basic shapes, makes space for kids to practice drawing basic shapes within the song itself, and encourages them to use their bodies to make their own shapes," says Laurie Berkner. "I hope this song inspires them to do all of these things!"

Recognized as “the queen of kids’ music” by People magazine, Laurie Berkner is a singer, songwriter, performer, author, and founder of Two Tomatoes Records, LLC. With more than 1 billion total streams, an average of more than 22 million monthly streams, nearly 450 million YouTube channel views, and millions of CDs and DVDs sold, Laurie’s songs have become beloved classics for children worldwide.
