Shape sorters.... As a mother of four children I have seen quite a few variations. Unfortunately they all have one thing in common.... No matter how nice they are in terms of shape and colour.... after playing a few times, a block always seems to have disappeared without a trace. You often find it again weeks later in an unexpected place..., under the couch or in the bin with duplo for example.

Now with our fourth child I seem to have finally found the ideal variant. A simple shape sorter with three blocks attached to a string.

No more stray blocks. And this is certainly not the only fun thing about this shape sorter. Our youngest daughter of 10 months loves to nibble on the sorter and neither her teeth nor the sorter seem to be bothered by this.

Furthermore, the shape is very practical. It is slightly curved, which makes it easy to pick up and Hanne can even hold the stove with one hand. She is not really interested in the shapes yet, but she already enjoys this toy very much.
So it can definitely be said about this shape sorter... less is more!

This stove by plan toys is made of recycled waste wood from rubber wood trees. The material feels smooth and warm.
