Baby geometric sorters

Sorter is a unique children's toy that can take a child for a long time. Developing, she teaches the child, makes her look for ways to solve the problem, and in the case of geometric sorters, she remembers the name and shape of the figure.

Geometric sorter is aimed at familiarizing the child with geometric shapes. For the smallest, these are the simplest circles, squares, triangles. But for older children, the figures become more complicated - both in the number of shapes and angles, and in the increase in volume. The toy teaches to think, to use logic. Sorter of varying complexity can be chosen for any age.

Geometric sorter are of two types:

• Which need to be inserted. Such a sorter is a three-dimensional basis with holes made in it along the figures and the figures themselves that need to be inserted into them.
• Which need to wear. The pyramid principle works here, but the figures are put on only certain colored bars. Their complexity varies from simple columns to those where parts need to be scrolled to put them on the column.

• Textile. Fabric, foam, sponge - all these materials are soft and safe. The disadvantage of such sorter is that the figure can be crumpled and placed in the wrong cell.
• Wood. Eco-friendly and safe wood sorter - birch, pine, spruce. They may either have a natural color or be colored. The danger of paint is that the child can chew on wood, and the pieces will fall into the stomach, so you need to monitor the child during the session.
• Plastic. Convenient bright sorter, safe and durable. Of course, many parents are opponents of such toys (because of their non-ecological compatibility), but modern production provides environmental friendliness and safety even for the smallest.
• Combined. Such sorters are made of several materials at once - for example, plastic and wood, fabric and paper. They ensure the development of logic, thinking, tactile contact, comparison of two materials, forcing the brain to work harder.

Here you need to think about security. For kids, it is better to choose soft sorter, so that the child does not hit and does not hurt. They are comfortable to hold and grab.

Another nuance - the possibility of sanitization. Fabric can be washed in the washing machine. If your choice fell on a plastic toy, then choose a sorter with figures without sharp corners. Manufacturers have taken this into account and make them somewhat rounded.

Details must be large enough, at least 5 centimeters. If the choice fell on a textile sorter, then check whether the elements and details are well stitched.

The number of holes in the toy should not exceed 5-6, otherwise the child will get tired. For older children, the number of figures may be greater, as well as their complexity. Consider the size of the holes, for the baby you need to pick up the sorter, which is not crawled through the handle.

To the child was interesting to play, sorter should be easy to understand. After collecting it, the child will be able to independently extract the pieces and play again. But the smallest is better to buy a toy that can not be disassembled, otherwise the child can pinch fingers or break fasteners.

The toy should not smell bad or fade when washing.

Given these rules, you can pick up a toy that will become one of the favorites for your baby.
