Stacking & Sorting
Benefits of Sorting and Stacking Toys
- Hand-eye coordination – kids learn how to pick up a shape or block, and then let it go again.
- Cause and effect learning – the ‘what happens if I do this’ piece of learning is very important, and sets in motion for later years the understanding of consequences.
- Shape identification – not only can it help children learn the names of the shapes, but also their characteristics such as what they feel like and how many sides they have.
- Goal setting – it’s that determination that a child has to fit that circle into the container no matter what!
- Motor skill development – the manipulation of pieces requires considerable motor skills, and these toys give ample opportunities to develop this skill.
- Problem-solving skills – your child will learn how to try different ways of manipulating objects, and try different strategies.
Our educational toy range has plenty of wonderful stacking and shape sorting toys for young children!
Blocks of different sizes, shapes, and colours are great for your toddler. Different-coloured rings of descending sizes on a pole is another toy that's good for sorting by size and colour. (Bamboo Stacking Rings or 3D Sorting Board)
When it comes to threading, choose beads that are chunky and easy for your toddler to turn over in his little hands. Different shapes and bright colours will help to hold your toddler's interest. (Jumbo Sequencing Blocks)
