Wooden Acorn Counting & Sorting Kit

Wooden Colour Sorting Set | Hands-On Learning for Fine Motor and Cognitive Development

The Wooden Colour Sorting Set (29 pieces) is a charming and tactile resource designed to support early learning through play. Perfect for children aged 3 years and up, this set invites young learners to explore colour recognition, sorting, and fine motor development using beautifully crafted natural and coloured wooden pieces.

With a delightful mix of acorns, bowls, a scoop, spoon, and tweezers, children are encouraged to manipulate, organise, and categorise the pieces in open-ended or structured activities. Whether sorting by colour, size, or shape, each task strengthens hand-eye coordination, builds problem-solving skills, and supports sensory engagement in a playful and meaningful way.

This versatile set is ideal for early years classrooms and home learning environments, offering opportunities for both independent work and collaborative play.
