The long plywood box is printed along one side with our Wild Wonders animals: a spotted yellow leopard, a curled-up orange lion, a pink and yellow butterfly and a turquoise elephant, set among leaves and dots. Its top has four cut-outs, a triangle, a circle, a butterfly and a square, with four solid wooden shapes to match: an orange triangle, a turquoise cylinder, a mustard yellow butterfly and a blue cube. It measures 19.5cm long, 5.5cm wide and 5.5cm tall, a neat size for a playroom shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a toy for little ones learning to match one thing to another, and we like how much play it packs into a small box. Finding the right hole for each piece helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, while the four colours and four shapes give plenty to name and talk about together. The butterfly piece adds a playful twist to the usual triangle and square. It sits happily in a nursery, playroom or living room toy basket, and it is compact enough to take along on a family visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe box is made from plywood and the shapes from wood, with the pale layered grain showing at the open end. That open end is handy: once every piece has dropped through, small hands can reach in, tip them out and start again. It is light enough to carry from room to room. To keep it looking its best, wipe the box and shapes with a slightly damp cloth and dry them straight away rather than soaking the wood. Wrapped with a bow, it makes a cheerful gift for a little one who loves animals, and the illustrations look lovely left out on a low shelf between games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape sorter: plywood; shapes: wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.182KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable for children aged 12 months+.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the shape sorter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe box is 19.5cm long, 5.5cm wide and 5.5cm tall, so it fits easily on a shelf or in a toy basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the shape sorter made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe box is made from plywood and the four shapes are wood.
