Baby Area:
Match and sort these 21 colorful wooden pieces, and skill-building is just part of the fun. Rings, octagons, and rectangles can be slotted onto the three rods, stacked on top of each other, or lined up to compare shapes, sizes, and colors. This first-concepts set is a manipulatives all-star! Parents and other grown-ups can help their youngsters develop strong skills by playing several games, such as removing the stacking pieces from the rods and placing them on a flat surface, and helping kids name the colors of the pieces. When they are familiar with all the colors, have them to sort the pieces by color and count the pieces in each group. Additionally, mix all the pieces together and have kids sort the pieces according to shape. This Geometric Stacker is an exceptional gift for kids ages 2 to 4 years.

There's a double-sided reusable menu card for taking orders and cup inserts to add realistic color to smoothies. Any time is a good time for a smoothie! This kitchen toy play set is not only entertaining, but also a great way for children to learn about colors, counting, and nutrition, while developing fine motor and social skills.
