Shape-Sorting Cube for Babies

Encourage early matching, discovery and problem-solving with the colourful Shape-Sorting Cube for babies.

Children select a shape, examine the openings in the cube and attempt to place the piece through the matching hole. The activity introduces the idea that different objects have different outlines and positions.

Repeated shape-sorting play can help young children become more confident with grasping, turning, fitting and retrieving objects.
