The VIGA Wooden Shapes and Animals Puzzle Sorter is an engaging and educational toy designed for toddlers aged 18 months and up. This thoughtfully crafted toy brings together the core benefits of a shape sorter and a frame-insert puzzle, helping children develop multiple skills at once.
The set includes a sturdy square wooden base with 9 shaped cutouts and 9 matching geometric blocks. Each block is split into two identical halves that, when joined, form a cheerful animal illustration. Children are encouraged to match both the image and the shape, promoting shape recognition, visual matching, and early logic.
Perfectly suited for Montessori-inspired learning, the puzzle supports independent play and problem-solving. Through play, children strengthen their fine motor skills, improve hand-eye coordination, and become familiar with basic shapes, colors, and common animals.
Crafted from smooth, durable wood and painted with vibrant, non-toxic colors, this toy is both safe and sustainable. It is an excellent choice for use in homes, nurseries, kindergartens, and developmental learning environments.
