My Daughter received this shape sorter for her Birthday and I have to say I have been very impressed by this toy.

Stockist and Cost
This is a Early learning centre product available on line at www. Elc.co.uk or from one of their stores, mother care or some Debenhams.
I think that for a quality wooden toy the cost of £15.00 is a bargain

What is it?
This is a wooden shape sorter in the shape of an Ark complete with Mr & Mrs Noah. The top of the ark completely lifts off for removal of the animals once they have been poked in and this also allows the bottom to become a dolls boat and the top becomes a house it is mind boggling the variety of uses a child can find for a toy that is supposed to be one thing only!

Quality
I really like this toy I like that it is wooden seems to be a lot harder wearing than plastic versions indeed this is on its third child and still looks great we also loaned it to the local school reception class for a week and even they couldn't damage it! They only down side is hunting the animals that seem to want to escape the ark they are unaware of the impending flood and are often found under the sofa!

Why buy this toy
Not only is this toy a well made good quality toy but it also helps with fine motor skills and hand eye co-ordination. Both my girls loved this toy and not only used it as a shape sorter but it become a dolls house , a transport lorry and many more I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending this toy.
