Sorting shapes is a fun and challenging developmental activity for your child. It is baby’s first puzzle as she learns to fit each shape through it’s proper match on the container. This type of play has many benefits including hand-eye coordination, problem solving skills and development of fine motor skills as she grasps onto the blocks. An idea for infant play with a shape sorter can include laying out all of the blocks on the floor and letting baby explore each of them while you tell her the names/colors of each. When she is a bit older she can then begin sorting them through their fitting holes.

Some non-toxic and organic options for shape sorters are the following:

    These all look great, but I’m having a difficult time finding a shape sorter for my 10-month-old that doesn’t have small parts that he could choke on. Do these shapes fit inside a toilet paper roll, or are they bigger than that? Thanks so much!
