Demonstrate how to match each shape to its corresponding slot on the toy, or you can encourage your child to sort the shapes independently and watch them grow in confidence. • Develop colour recognition: Children learn to match the name of colours to their shapes. This enhances their colour recognition abilities. • Learn about shapes: Children learn about different shapes as they play as the distinct shapes make it easier for them to differentiate between pieces. • Growing motor skills: Manipulating the shapes and aligning them with the slots requires a pincer grasp, where the thumb and index finger work together. • Multifunctional blocks: The 6 blocks have different functions: the triangle makes sounds, the cross has a mirror and each of the other 4 blocks have a different coloured plexiglass sheet. • Colour mixing wheel: By moving the colour dial, children can learn how colours are mixed by looking at the transparent coloured plexiglass.
