In today&#x2019;s world, technology has assumed an indispensable role in everyday life. However, though developments in the Internet of Things (IoT) have laid a foundation for achieving different educational purposes, IoT is not being employed to its full potential. A separate issue is that the topic of geometry has been neglected or received only limited attention in schools, particularly in the early years. Moreover, as geometry is of paramount importance, the idea of teaching geometry in early childhood should be investigated. This paper proposes an IoT-based approach for teaching basic geometric shapes to children aged 5 to 6. Specifically, five nodes were designed to act as the vertices of shapes. In addition, educational videos comprising three sections &#x2014;identification, recognition, and recollection &#x2014; were provided. Using a sample of 35 boys the proposed solution was assessed in terms of its effect on learning outcomes and the learning process using pre-test, simultaneous test, and post-tests. The findings revealed a noticeable improvement in learning outcomes. Furthermore, the proposed approach made learning enjoyable, which, compared to the traditional approach toward learning geometric shapes, is considered an improvement.
