Sorting Puzzle with Sensory Shapes

The Sorting Puzzle with Sensory Shapes by Miniland is a thoughtfully designed early learning resource that supports babies aged 12 months and over in developing foundational cognitive and physical skills. Featuring 6 uniquely shaped pieces - including leaves, fruits, and flowers - this puzzle combines shape-matching with rich sensory exploration. Each piece offers a distinct texture and vibrant contrasting colour, inviting young learners to touch, explore, and discover as they play.

This puzzle fits together within a beautifully designed sensory tree base, guiding babies to place each shape in its correct position. As they manipulate and match the pieces, they build fine motor strength, concentration, and shape recognition. The Sorting Puzzle with Sensory Shapes is made from recycled and recyclable materials, making it an environmentally conscious choice that also introduces young children to the concept of sustainability from an early age.

Designed to promote independent learning and cooperative play, this puzzle is ideal for both home and early learning settings. It serves as an excellent entry point for exploring topics such as nature, texture, categorisation, and environmental care.
