- Observe the corresponding openings on the lid of the sorter basket.
- Guide the child to match each block to its correct opening and push it through.
- Once all shapes are sorted, the lid can be removed to retrieve the blocks and start again.
5.2 Stacking
- The individual shapes can also be stacked on top of each other to build towers or other structures.
- Encourage creative play by allowing the child to experiment with different stacking combinations.
