IMPROVE HAND-EYE COORDINATION – placing the shapes into the correct space is a great challenge for young learners and boosts their hand-eye coordination. The more children play with the shape sorter, the more they hone these important early learning skills.
BOOST MOTOR SKILLS – Handling the shapes and turning them around in order to make them fit into the correct space is a very good way of helping your young child to develop good motor skills. These skills are transferable and will have a big impact on the rest of your child’s development in these important early years.
INTRODUCE SHAPES – Handling the shapes is a great way to discuss the names of the shapes and teach young children how to recognize the different shapes and begin to differentiate between them.
LEARN ABOUT COLORS – matching up the pieces to the correct holes using both shape and color helps to teach children about colors, so they can begin to learn about the differences between colors in the world around them.
DEVELOP PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS – Working out how exactly to complete the shape sorting puzzle is a great way to exercise the problem-solving abilities of young children.
