Significance of Shape & Sorter Toys in early age

Shape sorter toys  are kids’ much-loved toy and they are the best baby learning toys. Chunky colorful and musical features add the entertainment value while serving the education purpose. For kids, they are not just fun toys but developmental toys as they are testing to play with – the kids figure out how to drop each differently shaped piece of toy into its respective hole, and by trial and error, learn in due course categorize colour and name the different shapes.

Apart from various colour, shapes like circle, square, rectangle. They  are also a range of theme shaped sorter toys like animals, flowers, etc. that encourage kids to implement their decision in fitting the shapes into their correct holes and patterns.

Children start developing hand-eye coordination skills by the time they are nearing their first birthday. Starting at this age, giving them basic sorter toys is a great tool to help them improve and polish their skills.

• Besides introducing toddlers to various shapes and colours, shape sorter toys help children hone their motor skills. Holding a block in their hand, they make up their mind which hole the block would fit in. If their first attempt fails, the trial and error continues till the mission is completed.
• These toys also help in improving finger dexterity in children which further helps them with handwriting and using scissors.
• Shape sorter toys help boost kids’ creative skills and imagination. They try their hand at stacking and sorting the toys in a manner that strikes them. Parents can also boost the creative process by encouraging the kids to stack the toys in different combinations.
• They also help kids learn categorization, as the kids sort and categorize the different pieces – based on their judgment – in stacks of different sizes, different colours, etc.
• Sorter toys teach kids the concept of cause and effect. They learn that in order to make the block fit, it has to be placed in the right hole – so putting a piece in its right hole will have the effect of making it fit.
• The toys also teach the concept of object permanence. When a smaller sized block disappears inside a match larger hole, the kids are perplexed at first, but they eventually learn that the block is not lost, but has just fallen inside the container or is lying below the toy board.

• Some new designs of shape sorter toys play little tunes or light up when the child fits the shapes correctly. This provides sensory stimulus to them.
• The bright and vibrant colours make them attractive while their chunky shapes and graspable sizes make them easy to hold.

Shape sorter toys are thus evergreen tools to help your toddler thrive developmentally and make great additions in not just homes but also at play schools and child care centers. And the sense of accomplishment it gives to the kids when they successfully sort the different blocks – that is a delight to watch. An added bonus we say!
