How to try it

Sit with a simple shape sorter and show how a block drops through the matching hole. Let your child try each piece, turning it until it fits, and hold the box steady if it slides.

Materials

  • Shape sorter

Safety note

Check that every piece is too big to fit in the mouth and stay close while your child plays.
