Here is a shape-sorting toy that provides more learning features than the average sorter. The shaped base has a small protruding shape that mimics the same design, color, and shape of each of the 6 hollow-shaped pieces. The hollow shapes also have a silicone plug with the same shape, color, and pattern as the piece and base location. The plug can either be placed straight onto the base or into the hollow piece; then the piece and plug pair can be placed on the base. Playtime with this set assists in the development of fine motor skills, sensory learning, spatial reasoning, shape-matching, and exploration.
