About this collection

Shape sorters and shape puzzles teach shapes, colours and sizes in the most natural way – by trying until the piece fits. In this collection you will find wooden geometric sorters, a farm barn and a 4-in-1 drawer sorter from Woopie Green, stacking towers, an egg puzzle with shapes and colours, dinosaur and animal colour sorting games, a Tooky Toy recycling centre and Masterkidz shapes to guess by touch.

Why sorting matters

When a child turns a triangle until it slips through the right hole, they are comparing, testing and correcting. Sorting by shape and colour is the first step towards logical thinking and later maths. It also trains hand rotation and precise grip – skills needed for drawing and writing.

From simple to complex
  • From 12 months. A shape sorter ball with piano, a geometric sorter with large pieces and a barn with farm animals.
  • From 2 years. Stacking shape towers, a shapes and colours sorting board and a counting puzzle with vegetables.
  • From 3 years. Colour sorting games, an egg puzzle, translucent colour shapes and a tangram mosaic, a recycling sorting game and guess-by-touch shapes.

How to play together

Start with two or three shapes and name them as your child plays: “circle”, “square”, “red”. When a piece does not fit, wait a moment before helping – the small effort of finding the right hole is the most valuable part of the game.

More toys for early learning are in educational toys, puzzles for kids and Montessori toys.

Frequently asked questions

At what age can a child use a shape sorter?

Simple sorters with a few large shapes suit children from around 12 months. More complex sorting games are for 3 years and up.

Is a wooden shape sorter better than plastic?

Wooden sorters are durable and pleasant to hold; plastic ones are lighter and sometimes have sounds. Both teach the same skills.

How does a shape sorter help development?

It develops shape and colour recognition, hand-eye coordination, patience and early problem solving.
