Melissa & Doug - Geometric Shape Sorter

Discover a colourful world of shapes, textures and movement with the 12-Sided Wooden Shape Sorter! Featuring 11 colourful sensory blocks and a unique rolling design, this engaging educational toy combines traditional shape sorting with active, hands-on learning for toddlers aged 2 years and over.

Unlike traditional shape sorters, the 12-sided dodecagon frame can be rolled across the floor, encouraging little ones to move, explore and discover. Children can match each shape to its corresponding opening, experiment with different textures and enjoy watching the sorter tumble during play.

11 Colourful Shapes to Explore

The set includes 11 colourful shape blocks, including familiar shapes such as a triangle, square and star. Crafted from a combination of wood, tinted plastic and soft-textured materials, the blocks provide a variety of tactile experiences while introducing early shape and colour recognition.
