Logic sorters
Sorter is a unique and entertaining toy. And most importantly, in the game mode, the child develops, since attention, thinking and logic of the child work in the game. Logic sorter helps to think, to build a model in the head to solve the problem.
Special features
The principle of this game is to embed pieces of various colors and shapes in the holes reserved for them. This may be a volumetric form such as a cube, a house, a transport or a logic board.
Sorter seems to be a simple game, but its logical potential is enormous - the child analyzes the shapes, compares and selects them.
If in all toys, logic like pyramid and dolls of solutions can be mass and can be assembled arbitrarily, then the sorter is the accuracy and the result.
The use of the sorter is great:
- helps to get acquainted with the concepts: the same - different, suitable - not suitable;
- teaches to compare, analyze, classify, sort;
- teaches to distinguish between shape, color, quantity;
- develops spatial thinking;
- develops fine motor skills, which affects both thinking, and logic, and speech;
- produces perseverance and attentiveness.
How to choose?
For different ages, there are their own models of sorter:
- From 6 months to a year. For kids, soft sorters are made from textile materials. They do not hurt, they are easy to wash and easy to grab with a small pen. The only minus is that the figures can be crumpled and inserted into any hole, however, for a baby, such an action is of great benefit for thinking. The material must be of high quality, without fine details, tightly stitched.
- From year to 2 years. The most "good" age to play with sorter. For a one-year-old child, this game is one of the leading ones. The sorter should have about 6-10 holes for productive and fatigue-free harvesting. The more correct the shape - circles, triangles, hearts - the easier it is for the child to collect them without losing interest in the game. Forms should differ from each other, for example, the oval and the circle at this age are not yet clear to the child, therefore there should be a contrast between the figures.
Figures should be easy to both put in and take out so that the child can practice independently without attracting adults. The material can be wooden or plastic, it only depends on the desire.
For those who have teething, it is undesirable to use wood, because the child can chew it.
For older children, additional functions are added to the sorter - lights, sound effects, various additional elements - shoelaces, clasps, color and picture tips.
- From 2 to 3 years. A large number of holes and shapes, all kinds of colors, additional functions - all this is a logical sorter for older kids. Here the task is complicated by the holes only for a certain shape, there are no universal ones into which the figure's neighbors can be inserted.
When choosing, remember about the safety of the child.
The handle should not crawl into the holes of the child. They should not be too small, so that there does not break a finger. The smaller the child, the safer the lock should be to avoid pinching and injuries. Figures should be smooth, with no sharp, traumatic corners. Well, avoid toys with a smell and poor-quality color, textiles should not shed.
