Our take on the Take-Along Sorting Barn

The Take-Along Sorting Barn is a wooden shape sorter and farm play set in one. Ten thick wooden pieces — a horse, pig, goat, sheep, chicken, dog, cow, tractor and farmer — fit into cutout slots on every side of the barn. The roof flips up to retrieve pieces, and a built-in handle lets a toddler carry it around. It suits roughly 2- to 4-year-olds working on shape matching and grip. Compared with plastic sorters, the wood build and the upright farm figures give it more replay value; the trade-off is a heavier, chunkier toy with no lights or sound.

What reviewers say

Owners of this Melissa & Doug sorter generally describe it as well made and a good fit for toddlers, with pieces big enough to grip and a roof that makes cleanup easy. The main complaints are the small piece count and the size of the barn.

  • Piece countMixedSome owners find ten pieces enough for toddlers, others want more for the size.

About the Take-Along Sorting Barn

This portable wooden barn combines shape sorting with open-ended farm play. Cutout shapes on all sides of the barn match 10 thick wooden pieces: a horse, pig, goat, sheep, chicken, dog, cow, tractor, and farmer. The pieces are sized for toddler hands.

The roof flips up so pieces are easy to retrieve. A built-in handle lets children carry the barn from room to room. The extra-thick pieces support fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and shape recognition.

Once the sorting is done, each piece stands upright on its own. The set then works as a barnyard play scene.

What pieces come with it?
Ten thick wooden pieces: a horse, pig, goat, sheep, chicken, dog, cow, tractor and farmer. Each fits a matching cutout on the barn.
