Abstract : This research aims to study the The Effectiveness of Cartoon Movies and Direct Interaction on Developing Preschool Child’s Concepts of Geometrical Shapes According to Vygotsky's Socio-cultural Theory. To fulfill this aim, the researcher used the quasi-experimental approach based on the two experimental groups design, the first experimental group (offered by the Cartoon Movies and direct interaction through associated activities), and the second experimental group (offered by the Cartoon Movies only). The intended sample consisted of (40) children. To this research, Four tools were used: Cartoon Movies that offer concepts of two- and three dimensional geometric shapes, direct interaction activities, observation of direct interaction activities, and the test of geometrical shapes concepts. Data were quantitatively analyzed using paired-sample T-test and T-test for two independent samples, and qualitatively by calculating the frequency and percentage for encoding qualitative analysis for the video recordings of the activities of direct interaction. The research reached the following set of results: There is significant statistical difference between the means of the pre- and post-test scores for children in the first experimental group for two and three dimension geometrical shapes’ concepts. There is no significant statistical differences between the means of the post-test scores for children in the first and the second experimental groups for two and three dimension geometrical shapes’ concepts. The qualitative analysis showed that the non-statistical differences between the two groups were due to the importance of having deep social interaction between the teacher and children side by side with children's interaction with tools. In the light of these results, the research presented some recommendations. Most importantly, the researcher emphasized motivating pre-school curriculum improvement committees to include educational cartoons that deepen children's understanding for mathematical concepts in particular and other different concepts in general. She also highlighted the importance of encouraging researchers to utilize educational strategies and theories in designing programs that aim to develop mathematical concepts in particular and other different concepts in general.
