BIG or LITTLE? • Size Wooden Sorting Tray • Classification Wood Mat • Educational Toy

Our BIG vs LITTLE Sorting Wooden Tray will help introduce your little one to learn how to sort/group. The main exercise is to sort the items/objects/images into the correct tray division. They separate them according to similarities and differences. When comparing, the children determine if an object has more or less of an attribute. Classifying and sorting activities help children to develop a range of thinking skills and build the foundations for later problem-solving. We are sure that your little ones will have tons of fun time sorting objects, cards, images, and more into all the different categories available for this versatile tray.
