Motor skills toy Clementoni 17106

The Clementoni 17106 motor skills toy is a shape sorter bucket designed for children aged 0.8 to 3 years. Made from durable plastic with a multicolour finish, the toy includes six different shapes to insert and recover, helping toddlers learn basic numbers, shapes and colours through hands-on play. A practical handle and lid locking system make it easy to transport and store, while the compact design fits typical playroom and nursery environments.

Advantages

This motor skills toy promotes fine motor development and hand-eye coordination by encouraging children to pick up, manipulate and place small shapes. The combination of shape recognition and the cause-and-effect interaction of inserting and removing pieces supports early cognitive skills. The robust plastic construction and simple lid lock offer durability and safe use for young children, while the multicolour design attracts attention and helps with visual discrimination.

Suitable for

• Developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination in toddlers
• Teaching basic shapes, colours and early counting concepts
• Independent play and supervised group play in daycare or home settings
• Portable play during visits or travel due to the built-in handle

How to use

Present the bucket and shapes to the child and demonstrate inserting each shape through the corresponding opening. Encourage the child to match shapes and name colours and numbers during play. Use the lid locking system to keep pieces contained when not in use and open it together with the child to retrieve shapes, reinforcing the cause-and-effect relationship. Supervise play for safety and remove small parts if the child still mouths objects.

Usage recommendations

Use on a flat, clean surface and supervise children during play. Rotate this toy with other developmental activities to support varied skill development. Clean the plastic surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent; ensure pieces are fully dry before storage.
