The 15 wooden pieces in this novel shape sorter offer a variety of colours, shapes, and opportunities for learning. Stack them on the pegged stand in order, mix up the shapes and colours, or create your own games with these engaging first manipulative. A printed key on the wooden base offers guidance when it's wanted, but the possibilities for play are endless. Use the colourful blocks to encourage sorting, matching, counting, stacking, dexterity, fine motor skills, colour recognition, and more. Recommended Age Range 2 Years and up
