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!

An idea that came to mind.. I do have a 3D printer so I could make 120° and 72° round radius guides like these.

If you didn't have a 3D printer, you could still print a template on paper, glue that to a board, saw/rasp/file/sand to the line and then use the shaped board as a template. Double sided tape should probably be good enough to keep it in place on your actual workpiece.
