Shape sorters are very strong educational toys as they are aimed at developing a some very specific skills. As the name implies Shape Sorters are aimed at teaching shape recognition. The shapes are carefully chosen so that no shape will fit in any other hole and children are then challenged to either pick a shape that matches the hole or try all shapes against a hole to learn the match.

Manual dexterity is also a very important skill to develop at this age and handling all of those shapes and moving them into the correct orientation to fit really reinforce this skill.

There are also other educational features to wooden shape sorter toys with differently coloured shapes teaching colours, numbers, and the addition of letters or pictures helping to add little pieces of additional learning to the toy often taking the interest of these toys on for a number of years.

We have a classic Shape Sorter Cube from Melissa and Doug. 12 nice solid colourful shapes that make a good solid clunk as they drop through the right hole. Melissa and Doug wooden toys are always stylish and great value and this one is no exception - lovely bright colours and clean shapes make this a very attractive toy.
Also from Melissa and Doug we have a Shape Sorting Clock which makes an interesting alternative shape sorter toy. Not only are the shapes pretty and colourful but each of them has a number on and the holes make up the face of a clock. The Wooden Shape Sorter Clock then adds early number learning and continues into learning how to tell the time.

Options for teaching children to recognise shapes include the Melissa and Doug Wooden Shape Stacking Train, the Melissa and Doug Wooden Geometric Stacker and Automoblox Wooden Cars.
