round shapes

Spheres and ovals

Round shapes are forms with curved rather than angular outlines—circles, ovals, spheres, and similar figures without corners or straight edges.

The phrase appears in contexts ranging from geometry lessons to design discussions: The artist preferred round shapes to sharp angles.

Children learn to identify round shapes early, as they're common in nature and everyday objects.
