Wooden Shape Sorting Grocery Cart/Walker

Item No: 46-30732
The vestibular sense
Proprioception
Gross motor skills

When your child rolls up with this lovely little grocery cart, it’s a sure sign that all sorts of fun play scenarios are about to unfold. Is your little one about to sip coffee from the cute little to-go cup, just like they’ve seen you do, while chatting with a good friend in the cooler section?

Or are they going to show you the lovely fruits that fit through the holes in the sides of the cart, just like a shape sorter for round oranges and triangular carrots?

Or maybe they want to sort the fruits by colour and shape on the puzzle board (which can be played with at the table) or prepare a lovely plate of fruit with each piece in its correct place? It takes fine motor control and hand-eye coordination for tiny hands to find the right shapes and put them through the right holes. 

Or maybe your child is ready to work on their gross motor skills, wobbling back and forth across the living room floor and holding on to the cart with a big grin on their face?

Or you can practise polite phrases and grow their vocabulary:

You: "May I have a green fruit, please?" 

Your child: "Here you go."

You: "Thank you. Would you like a red, round fruit? Which one would that be?"

Your child: "No, I want a yellow one!"
You: "Okay, then here's a lemon for you. Here you go." 

Your child: "Thanks."

You: "You're welcome."

That game can go on for a really long time!

Suitable for ages 1 yr. to 2 yrs.

Seeing the broad smile spread across your little one’s face when they finally manage to toddle along unsteadily on their tiny legs behind a push walker is a precious, joyful moment.

A push walker lets your child take their first wobbly steps while having something to hold onto and support their balance with. Newer, modern types often come with brakes so your child won't fall flat on their face because they accidentally picked up too much speed. See our full selection of beautiful push walkers here.

Helps develop essential skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn:

  • This type of play helps develop gross motor skills. It especially involves your child's ability to control the coordination of their legs and arms.
  • This is a great way for your child to engage their vestibular sense. The vestibular sense helps us to spin in circles, stand on one leg, or ride in a car without getting dizzy, losing our balance, or getting car sick.
  • This is a great way for your child to strengthen their proprioception, which improves their concentration and gives them the confidence to use their body in other types of active play.
