 Watch the "Timberdoodle Mom" explain the Shape Sorting Caterpillar!
A Classic Toddler Favorite
Shape sorters are classic toddler favorites and our wooden Shape Sorting Caterpillar is among the best. Used to teach toddlers how to categorize, label and match similar shapes, Shape Sorting Caterpillar provides a lovely introduction to geometry while developing your child's hand-eye coordination and problem-solving skills.
A Versatile Educational Tool
With a endearing smile on its smooth round head and a body made up of four different removable pegs and eight multihued circular shapes that slide easily over the appropriate peg, this shape sorter is a versatile educational tool that is suitable for a wider age range than most.
A Friendly-faced Challenge
Like all shape sorters, the friendly-faced Shape Sorting Caterpillar will teach your child to observe the difference between several shapes and fit them into their respective holes. But it is the ingenious addition of the removable pegs that expands the life of this puzzle. For the novice, have him 'thread' one of the colorful circular shapes onto the appropriate peg. Using the basic shapes of a triangle and the more sophisticated shapes of hearts and stars, the Shape Sorting Caterpillar will provide any child with a challenge.
Increasing Fine Motor Skills
Then have him place the correct peg into the caterpillar's back. As his fine motor skills increase he will be able to not only place the peg in the back, but also the circular shapes on the pegs. And you can use the Shape Sorting Caterpillar's multicolored wooden rings for matching the patterns and colors or simply stacking them up in a tower.

Playing Tips:
Pick a Shape
See which rings fit on which caterpillar pegs. The fun is in the trying. We can pick a shape and try it on a peg. Let's try each peg until it fits.
Stack and Sort
With lots of practice we'll soon be loading up the caterpillar all by ourselves. That will keep it smiling! Or we can play with the rings - stacking them up in a tower, matching the patterns and colors, or rolling and catching them.
