Advantages

This wooden sorting puzzle uses tactile, durable materials that withstand frequent handling while remaining safe for young children.

How to use

Place the wooden board on a flat surface and present the waste pieces to the child. Ask the child to identify each item and place it into the matching bin by type or color.
