So my kid has lost a bunch of these shapes and I'm going to make a replacement set.

Does anyone have any ideas for how to get a consistent roundover on the corners? I have a router table but no CNC.

The square and rectangle I could do with a roundover bit and the blocks on their sides. But I don't see any obvious solutions for the pentagon and triangle.

I'm totally fine just hand sanding these, but this kind of problem solving makes woodworking fun!

Instead of just corner guides, 3d print entire templates. Then double-stick tape them to your wood and use a pattern bit in your router. Pattern bits are different from a flush cut bit, the bearing is on the opposite end.
