This Melissa & Doug shape sorter is a classic wooden toy for toddlers. It is built from solid wood, and the cube has a natural-finish hardwood body. It comes with 12 chunky, brightly colored shapes that have rounded edges, so little hands can hold and move them easily.
Each shape fits through a hole of the same shape in the cube. Kids drop the shapes in and hear a "clunk" as each one lands. Then they open the lid, take the shapes out and start again.
The toy supports color and shape recognition, problem-solving skills and fine motor skills. It is made for hands-on, screen-free play for children ages 2 to 5.
