Egg Shapes
Egg Shapes
Twist. Match. Open. Do it again.
That simple loop of actions, repeated happily dozens of times, is doing more developmental work than it looks. Each egg in this set splits into two halves that only fit back together in the correct colour and shape combination, making matching feel like discovery rather than instruction.
It is one of those toys that earns its place in the toy box well before Easter and stays long after.
What our OT says:
Egg Shapes are a wonderfully self-correcting toy, meaning the child gets immediate feedback from the toy itself without needing an adult to tell them they are right or wrong. That kind of independent problem-solving builds confidence alongside cognitive skills.
The twisting action required to open and close each egg is particularly valuable. It develops bilateral hand coordination, where both hands must work together, one stabilising while the other rotates, which is a foundational skill for dressing, opening containers, and eventually writing. Children also practise colour recognition and shape discrimination with every match, laying the groundwork for early maths and visual perceptual development.
Because the eggs are self-contained and have no loose parts, they are ideal for younger toddlers and make an excellent travel toy.
How to play:
Twist the eggs apart, mix up the halves, and encourage your child to find the matching colours and shapes to put them back together. Start by sorting into colour groups first, then introduce the shape element as confidence grows.
Other ways to play:
Hide the egg halves around the room for a shape-matching treasure hunt. Use as part of an Easter egg hunt with a developmental twist. Sort all the tops together and all the bottoms together before matching, a great step for younger toddlers just starting out. Use in a sensory bin, hide the halves in rice or sand and find and match them.
From R79.95. Suitable for: 18 months and older.
Let customers speak for us
Great addition to our light-box and there are more than one of each letter in this set. This gives you more word building opportunities.
What a great fine motor beading set. They give nice resistance when children push them together and pull them apart, which helps strengthen the fingers and improve hand control.
My nearly-4-year old daughter loves playing 'doctor' with this doll. She took it to school show and tell and it was a hit!
Another great buy from tiny tree toys <3
The Humpty Dumpty wall game is a firm favourite with our toddlers. It’s a simple cause-and-effect activity that immediately grabs attention and keeps little ones engaged. While it’s a plastic game and not the most durable piece in the room, the value for money is excellent. The amount of fun, repetition, and learning we’ve had from it makes it well worth it for early play and therapy sessions.
The rope ladder brings instant adventure into the OT space. It invites pretend play while quietly working on grip strength, shoulder stability, core control, and bilateral coordination. Climbing rung by rung challenges motor planning and body awareness, while the imaginative element keeps children motivated and engaged. It’s a brilliant way to blend functional movement, confidence-building, and play in a way that feels exciting rather than therapeutic.
The trapeze swing is always a hit in the OT room. It builds strong arms, shoulders, and core while giving the kind of movement input kids love. Swinging, hanging, and climbing all support coordination, body awareness, and regulation without it ever feeling like hard work. Big movement, big smiles, and loads of therapeutic value packed into one piece of equipment.
I was so excited to see something new in educational games. This can be used in many different ways. Perhaps it would be useful to list the different ways it can be used from simple to complex.
We are using this in therapy and I think the size and challenge is perfect for many of the kids we work with. One suggestion would be to add an extra one of each colour to make it more challenging - so if they get to the last one, it’s a bigger challenge to choose the correct colour when copying a pattern. Also in case any get lost. But overall, good quality and a lovely game
Well made and cute. Exactly what you expect
These stick-on toys are so versatile and easy to carry with you. I was surprised and delighted to find so many uses for them. Started using them at 6 month and they are still in play a year later.
Our grandson, Lukas, is sooo happy with these - he is 3 and looooves them.
Absolutely love this product. It's only the beginning, but it looks durable, well worth the price. Again, so much to do with this product!
