The Bio Shape Sorter is great as a floor toy or on a table top with an easy opening lid that allows instant access to the sorting shapes. The six shapes encourage shape sorting and colour matching. Each shape has a unique rattling sound. Encourages manipulation skills and stimulates through sound and movement. Enhances manipulation and fine motor skills. Great for the develop ment of hand-eye coordination, motor skills and promotes colour recognition. A perfect product to help and stimulate visually and auditory impaired children.

Give your baby the different shapes to explore and rattle. Does your baby discover how to put the shapes in the spaces of the shape sorter? If not, give verbal hints, without directly demonstrating - and see if your little one can figure it out. Most babies this age will need some assistance initially. Show your baby how to put the shapes in the correct spaces. Show your infant what happens when you try to put the wrong shape in a hole. Explain that it doesn't fit using encouraging language. Talk about the colours and challenge your baby to show you the shape that matches the colour.  Show your baby how to separate the toy to empty the sorter - take out one shape at a time and challenge your baby to fit the shape in - using lots of praise. Increase the challenge by removing two shapes at a time - building up to completing the task in one go. As your baby develops he or she will be able to sort the puzzle out independently using both shape and colour knowledge. Always use encouraging and supportive language and praise successful sorting.
