Wooden Sorting Tray, 7 Way

This beechwood sorting tray has storage compartments in different sizes and can be used flat, or stood up against a wall like a mini display cabinet. 

The large compartments measure 41.5 x 12 cm, and the small compartments measure 13 x 17 cm. 

So, what will you put in the compartments?

Buttons, beads, or other little bits sorted by colour or size?  Or perhaps the tray will become home to the most magical finds from a weekend adventure at the beach or in the forest — ready to be displayed, explored, and admired up close.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to sorting and displaying all those bits and bobs in the tray.

Use the tray for games that involve observing, collecting, and sorting little treasures or small toys. That kind of play strengthens both fine motor skills and imagination.

Encourage your child to explain how and why they have sorted things. It’s a great way to build vocabulary and strengthen their ability to reflect and put their thoughts into words.

We also carry a sorting tray with even more compartments, as well as wooden compartment boxes in various sizes with sturdy, clear acrylic lids.

Measures 50 x 43,5 x 7,5 cm.
Suitable for children aged 1 yr. to 8 yrs.

Practising how to sort objects helps improve your child’s ability to sort through the many impressions they experience daily. Categorizing and sorting are quite simply a way of learning and comprehending new experiences, words, and concepts. In order to understand what something is and what it means, we first need to understand how it differs from something else.

Many real-life situations require us to sort and organise – for example, we use that skill when we make separate piles of laundry, learn equations, or sort our garbage.
