HABA Sorting Box Animals ($35, ages 1 and up)
My 2-year-old son recently received the HABA Sorting Box Animals toy. The bright colors and pictures on the wooden pieces are like a magnet for him. There are 4 different shape sorting scenes that can be switched out on the shape sorting box. Each scene features different animals and their favorite foods. We have been playing match the shapes as we learn the favorite food of the cat, dog and sheep as pictured on the different blocks.
Shape sorting toys are a great way for children to work on their motor skills. My son enjoys trying to figure out which piece fits into the right hole – it is fun for me to watch his little hands at work. I like that we can easily switch out the shape sorting scenes, which means the game is always changing to keep his interest with new challenges. It’s very nice to know that HABA’s wooden toys are made to last a long time because I want to be able to pass them down to my younger children.
HABA has a wonderful line of high quality products that will encourage your child’s creative development. Their carefully crafted wooden toys for every age and stage are very appealing to children. Surprise your young explorers with a HABA toy this holiday season.
