Shape Sorter on 3 Vertical Dowels
This engaging Montessori-inspired activity develops classification, coordination, and early math skills for children aged 2 years and up.
The wooden base includes three vertical dowels and 9 solid wooden pieces in 3 geometric shapes: spheres, cubes, and triangular prisms. Children are invited to stack the shapes onto the dowels — by shape, by quantity, or in mixed combinations — allowing for sorting, sequencing, matching, and exploration.
Montessori Benefits:
- Encourages visual discrimination and geometric recognition
- Supports development of fine motor skills and hand–eye coordination

- Prepares the hand for more complex manipulation tasks
This versatile shape sorter also introduces early mathematical thinking: comparing size, shape, and number while inviting repetition and concentration.
Dimensions:
Base: 6" x 6" x 0.5"
