Product Description
My First Green Toys Shape Sorter
The My First Green Toys Shape Sorter puts an eco friendly spin on a classic play pattern. Made in the USA from food-safe, 100% recycled plastic, the lightweight shapes are perfect for little ones just learning to grasp, while older toddlers can practice fine motor skills and color matching. Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Packaged with recycled and recyclable materials and printed with soy inks.
The Shape Sorter encourages motor skill development. Recycled plastic versus virgin plastic saves tremendous amounts of energy.Safe Play Starts with Safe Toys
The My First Green Toys Shape Sorter is safe, with no sharp edges or small parts. Its unique design allows the set to be played with in the traditional elliptical configuration, or separated into two hemispheres that can lay flat on the floor. This super-safe toy contains no BPA, Phthalates, PVC, or external coatings, eliminating the fear of toxins and lead paint, and also meets FDA standards for food contact, making it safe for teething babies to put in their mouths.
Eco Friendly Fun and Learning All In One
The Shape Sorter helps develop recognition of shapes and colors while also encouraging eye-hand coordination, problem solving, and fine and gross motor skill development. The two-part elliptical Shape Sorter and 8 colorful shapes (2 stars, 2 circles, 2 squares, and 2 triangles) are the perfect size and weight for little hands. Each piece slides easily into the chute cut-outs on both the top and bottom of the Sorter, which opens with a simple twist, separating the two halves and letting the pieces out again. The Shape Sorter is also dishwasher safe, making the great for both indoor and outdoor play, and preschools too!
Made in USA and Way Good for the Earth!
Like all My First Green Toys products, the Shape Sorter is manufactured in the USA with a tight, local supply chain that minimizes transportation emissions and supports the domestic economy. Made from 100% recycled plastic milk jugs (HDPE #2 plastic) that save energy and reduce greenhouse gases, its packaged using only recycled and recyclable materials with no plastic films or twist ties, and printed with soy inks.

The Green Toys sorter is great for several reasons. The first is, it isn't easy for a toddler to remove the lid. In order to take the top off you have to twist and then pull up while holding the bottom. This thing is also super sturdy; the plastic is the strongest of any toy I've purchased. The second is that it's made in the USA, which means I don't have to wonder if there's lead in the paint. Which is a concern I have, because my daughter puts everything in her mouth and for some reason sorting shapes are her favorite things to chew on. The last thing I love is that the plastic is made from 100% recycled milk bottles, so I can feel good about not creating more waste.

Update: every child is different, but mine was able to start really playing with this between 12 and 16 months. By that I mean that she started putting shapes into the correct openings, but she still needs help sometimes to stabilize it. She started putting the two pieces of the space ship together, but not twisting them shut. When she was younger she would carry it around and shake it to make sound. We then started putting the two side of the space ship on the floor like a puzzle.
Edit: I don’t remember the exact age my child was able to use this as intended but it was somewhere around 18 months. She is able to steady it with one hand and put the pieces in with the other. She is also able to open and close it. I am going to give it another star. If it worked for the advertised age range, I would give it 5 stars. If you are getting this for an older child, it is a nice toy.

We got this for our kid when he was 5 months old. He loved and still loves to use the little pieces as a teething chew toy and just to throw around. He hasn’t yet learned how to place the objects in the slots but I’m sure he will as he grows. Very easy to clean up. Just rinse with water and soap and you are done.

Sono realizzati dal reciclo dei contenitori di plastica del latte, sono in polietilene ad alta densità che è un tipo di plastica adatto anche al contatto con gli alimenti, e sono privi di BPA, ftalati, PVC o rivestimenti esterni. I giocattoli sono poi confezionati in scatole di cartone ondulato riciclato senza cellophane, e gli inchiostri utilizzati per la stampa sono di origine vegetale.
Questo giocattolo, nello specifico, è composto da due semisfere, ciascuna della quale ha quattro fessure sagomate (a forma di stella, di cerchio, quadrato e triangolo), e da otto formine colorate (due stelle, due cerchi, due quadrati e due triangoli) che sono della dimensione e peso adatti per i bambini dai 6 mesi in sù.
Ho scelto questo gioco, tra i tantissimi simili disponibili sul mercato, non soltanto perché eco-friendly, ma anche perché diverso dai soliti giochi a incastro di forma cubica.
Innanzitutto, la forma sferica rende il gioco abbastanza difficile, perché deve essere tenuto fermo quando si cerca di infilarci dentro una formina. Se però si utilizza una semisfera soltanto, ecco che subito il gioco si fa più facile e adatto ai bambini più piccoli!
Inoltre, le due semisfere per essere aperte devono essere leggermente svitate. Questo movimento è ancora difficile per nostra figlia, che deve così sforzarsi di infilare le formine nelle corrette fessure, piuttosto che aprire semplicemente il coperchio del contenitore per mettercele dentro.
A nostra figlia piace poi usare una sola semisfera, riempirla con tutte le formine, e poi agitarla forte per vedere i vari pezzi colorati saltare via da tutte le parti - per somma gioia della madre :)
