There's a book series called Balance Benders. It is purely just shapes and logic.
The books have lots of puzzles in which they put different shapes on scales and your goal is to identify how many on each side results in a balanced scale.
I remember doing these in middle school, but with guidance, I think 3 year olds could pickup on it as well. It definitely reinforces underlying principles of algebra.
