A red cylinder, blue cube and yellow triangular shape introduce simple geometry and colour while little hands work out which piece fits where. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis is a classic early-learning activity made particularly lovely by the PlanToys design. Children can grasp and turn each chunky piece, compare it with the openings and experiment until they find the right match. It brings together \u003cstrong\u003eshape recognition, colour recognition, hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness and early problem solving\u003c\/strong\u003e, with plenty of trial and error as children learn that turning a piece can make all the difference. PlanToys also highlights mathematical thinking, visual development, coordination, language and communication, problem solving and cause and effect for this toy. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThere is a little \u003cstrong\u003eobject permanence\u003c\/strong\u003e within the play too. Once a shape drops through the lid it disappears from sight, then children can remove the top and discover all three pieces waiting inside. It adds that satisfying find-and-repeat element that babies and toddlers love, while allowing them to reset the activity themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe removable lid also opens up the play beyond shape sorting. Children can fill and empty the bin, collect the pieces, practise putting things in and taking them out, or use it to store the shapes and other small play resources between uses. PlanToys specifically designed the lid to lift off so children can retrieve the pieces easily. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIt is a lovely \u003cstrong\u003eMontessori-inspired activity\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a clear purpose, hands-on problem solving and an immediate result. Children can repeat the same action at their own pace, developing concentration, coordination and confidence as matching the shapes gradually becomes more deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esoftly rounded bin is made using PlanToys' bentwood process\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is one of the nicest details of this toy. In the PlanToys factory, rubberwood is peeled into thin layers, bonded and curved into shape to create the smooth sides and rounded corners. PlanToys specifically identifies the Shape \u0026amp; Sort It Out Bin as using this bentwood construction. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003ePlanToys uses reclaimed rubberwood from trees at the end of their latex-producing life, water-based dyes, organic pigments and its no-added-formaldehyde adhesive in its wooden toy production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIt would make a lovely \u003cstrong\u003efirst birthday gift\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly for a child beginning to enjoy posting toys, puzzles, filling and emptying, and working out how objects fit together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eFind the \u003cstrong\u003ePlanToys Shape \u0026amp; Sort It Out Bin at Babipur\u003c\/strong\u003e, with more carefully chosen Montessori-inspired toys, wooden shape sorters and developmental toys for babies and toddlers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PlanToys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59295289442629,"sku":"PL5489","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/4044\/0901\/files\/plantoys-shape-sort-it-out-bin-wooden-baby-toy.webp?v=1789427451","url":"https:\/\/www.babipur.co.uk\/fr-fr\/products\/plantoys-shape-sort-it-out-wooden-montessori-shape-sorter","provider":"Babipur","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
