Sorting Toys

Sorting toys are great for fine motor, mathematical, logical, language and communication development. Wooden to plastic - buses to boxes - they come in all different shapes and designs. One of our favorites is the Sorting Bus by Plan Toys.
The Sorting Bus contains 3 colorful shaped objects that fit into corresponding holes in the body of the bus. The front of the bus has a cord so it can be pulled along. The wheels turn so it also can be a push toy. The bus driver sits up front with a big grin on his face. Once the shapes are in the bus, pull the sign on top and all the pieces will slide out.
Sorting the geometric shapes allow children to learn about solving problems through trial and error; logical thinking is enhanced as well. They will also learn about different shapes and colors. Group play can be encouraged to enchance language development and social skills.
The Sorting Bus by PlanToys is made of replenishable rubberwood and water based paint. Recommended for ages 19 months +.
