Here's the link: http://www.plantoys.com/catalog/products_detail.php?id=5352<br /><br />I like it because it's only 3 shapes and they are 3 different colors. Then baby has to learn how to press the blue lever to get the shapes to release out the bottom.<br /><br />We also have the Geometric Sorting Board and all of Micah's therapists LOVE it (fine motor skill development along with colors and shapes). I think our next purchase will be the Lacing Beads.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617791426447246761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274008603909996948.post-60606405785374516212009-09-02T16:38:31.768-05:002009-09-02T16:38:31.768-05:00shape sorts are so great! we still use ours from t...shape sorts are so great! we still use ours from time to time.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839002672133730210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274008603909996948.post-8342293264514238432009-09-01T09:45:43.509-05:002009-09-01T09:45:43.509-05:00Ruby has this shape sorter and she loves it.We use...Ruby has this shape sorter and she loves it.We use it with the lid off and she takes the shapes out and is learning to drop them back in.Thanks for sharing the idea of covering some of the holes with tape.I will try that with Ruby when she gets a little bigger.<br /> Another great shape sorter that was recommended to me by the OT is the Fisher Price Cookie Shape Surprise Jar.It plays music when the shapes are dropped down into it from the top and talks and plays music when the shapes are put in on the sides.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01013919287284128734noreply@blogger.com
