About this play
Sorting objects by shape or colour is an early maths and logic skill that builds categorisation, problem-solving, and fine-motor control. A simple shape-sorter or grouping coloured blocks into matching cups gives your toddler a satisfying, self-correcting puzzle. Naming the shapes and colours as you go layers in vocabulary.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Offer a shape-sorter or coloured cups and blocks.
- Name each shape and colour as they sort.
- Let them solve it themselves; cheer each match.
