shape-sorting
 Shape Sorting Cube $14.99 Designed to develop hand-to-eye coordination, grasping and cognitive skills, this playmate pairs 16 colorful, chunky shapes with a hardwood box designed with shape-matching cutouts. The child chooses a shape, locates the matching cutout slot, and is rewarded with a satisfying clink when the shape drops into the box. Box measures 5.5" square. For ages 2 years and up. Shipping: Ships 1-2 days  Learning Resources Rainbow Peg Play Activity Set $16.99 This is a great toy for fine motor development. It is also great for teaching colors, patters, numbers. It's a no frills kind of toy, but a must have in my book.  Melissa & Doug Wooden Shape Sorting Clock $14.99 Although the construction of this toy is sturdy, the shapes always fell out when being stored and really bothered us. Plus the logic of how the each shape was shaped bothered my 3 year old (she thought the 5 sided one should have 5 sides) we ended up giving the toy away. |
