The Janod Sorting Birds practice the concepts of shapes, sizes and colours. Children playfully learn to differentiate sizes, shapes and colours using the different birds in this fun game. Included are 72 wooden birds: square, circular, big, small, green, blue, etc. Rolling the dice will determine the colour, shape and size of the bird. The game can be started with only one of the dice for either colour or shape and then stepped up to include both dice. The game can be used for independent play or for two children together using 1 base each.  In addition to learning shapes and colours, this game is also ideal for developing hand-eye coordination. Made from FSC wood. It is part of an educational range developed in collaboration with a school teacher, in order to best match the learning and progress at each level. Recommended from 2 yrs+

Just Blocks are ecologically manufactured out of beech wood without being chemically treated by preservatives, paints or oils. Each block size and shape has each been thoroughly tested so as to support and enhance a child’s motor skills and cognitive brain development. Building ‘Just Block’ structures helps develop a child’s fine motor and manual dexterity skills as well as hand-to-eye coordination and to exercise the hand and finger muscles. A given block set is not designed to force/instruct any particular way of playing. In contrast, the focus is on letting children use their own imagination. During the building process, a child can learn how to explore and exploit cause & effect, to undertake challenging tasks and to test the limits of their abilities. In general, toys tend to impose limits in their use-for-play without stimulating a child’s imagination. The ‘Just Blocks’ approach is intended to counteract this, where a child uses its own creativity, through play, to achieve whatever goals they have in mind. Spacial creative skills so acquired help a child to achieve the necessary and enhanced means for its mental development.
