SORTING & STACKING
Sorting toys are fantastic. They teach shapes, colors, and fine motor skills through sorting. The ability to sort doesn’t typically develop until age 2. However, sorting toys provide great fun for younger babies, allowing them to play with blocks, start learning their colors and shapes, and place them inside the box or truck with your assistance.
