Learning Resources Sunshine Shape Sorter – Bright Early Learning Through Play

Bring warmth and learning to playtime with the Learning Resources Sunshine Shape Sorter, a cheerful twist on the classic toddler shape sorter. Designed to build essential early years skills, this engaging educational toy combines colour, shape, and number recognition in one sunny activity set.

Perfect for toddlers aged 18 months and up, the Sunshine Shape Sorter turns hands-on play into meaningful skill development.

A Classic Shape Sorter with a Sunny Upgrade

The Sunshine Shape Sorter features a friendly sun base and five removable rays, each designed with a unique shape and colour. As little ones place the rays into the correct slots, they practise matching, sorting, and problem-solving in a fun and interactive way.

Each ray is:

• A different colour

• A different shape

• Easy for small hands to grasp and manipulate

This thoughtful design helps introduce early shape recognition while strengthening hand muscles through repeated play.

Builds Fine Motor Skills and Coordination

Every time children insert a ray into the sun, they develop essential fine motor skills. The action of gripping, aligning, and pushing supports:

• Grip strength

• Hand-eye coordination

• Dexterity

• Spatial awareness

These foundational skills are crucial for future writing, drawing, and everyday tasks.

The chunky, toddler-friendly pieces are perfectly sized for small hands, encouraging independent exploration and confidence.

Reinforces Early Number Skills

The Learning Resources Sunshine Shape Sorter goes beyond shapes and colours. Five of the rays include numbers on the front and corresponding quantities of shapes on the reverse side.

For example, the star-shaped ray shows the number 5 on one side and five matching five-pointed stars on the other. This clever design reinforces early counting skills and introduces the concept of matching numbers to quantities.

Through playful repetition, toddlers naturally begin to understand:

• Number recognition

• Counting fundamentals

• Quantity association

• Early maths concepts

Encourages Play-Based Learning

Designed with play-based education in mind, the Sunshine Shape Sorter supports curiosity and hands-on discovery. The included activity guide provides additional ways to extend learning, helping parents and educators introduce structured activities alongside free play.

Whether used at home, in nurseries, or in early years classrooms, this sunny shape sorter keeps learning light, engaging, and interactive.
