Designed for curious little hands, it grows with your child and offers far more developmental depth than meets the eye\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x wooden baseboard (30 cm × 9 cm × 12 cm) with 5 vertical rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 x wooden shapes in 5 pastel colours: circles (1 hole), rectangles (2 holes), triangles (3 holes), squares (4 holes), and pentagons (5 holes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 rods per shape, sized to match the corresponding shape's hole count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat our OT says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFrom an occupational therapy perspective, this sorter works across multiple developmental domains simultaneously. Matching shapes to their corresponding rods builds form constancy and visual-spatial reasoning foundational skills for reading and writing readiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grasping, releasing, and stacking of each piece refines fine motor control and hand-eye coordination, while the built-in logic (the number of holes matches the number of sides) introduces early numeracy concepts in a concrete, tactile way. Tactile exploration, feeling the difference between a smooth circle and an angular pentagon adds a rich sensory layer that supports sensory discrimination and focused attention. This toy is equally at home in a therapy room as it is on the playroom floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tiny Tree Toys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44133930107099,"sku":"SS000900","price":185.95,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9155\/4011\/files\/geometric_stacker_pastel.jpg?v=1776437512","url":"https:\/\/tinytreetoys.co.za\/products\/geometric-shape-sorter-pastel","provider":"tiny tree toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
