The Sassy Sushi Sorter has textural sushi shaped into circles, triangles, and squares. Each sushi is coloured to help baby sort the sushi through the same colour and shape on the lid of the sorter. The Sushi themselves are textured and soft for baby to mouth and explore for tactile development.
- From about 6 months allow baby to engage with the sushi shapes. Baby will use their sense of touch to explore the textures and forms. Name the colours of each shape to baby. Describe each shape by naming it with baby. Repetition will help them to understand the object or colour name association.
- As baby matures, help them line the sushi’s up in a row. This activity is the first step in understanding principles of engineering and building. Show baby that there are 2 of each shape, group the like shapes together and describe to baby.
- As baby becomes comfortable with discovering the properties of each shape, show them how to put the shapes into their corresponding holes in the top of the sorter.
Once baby has mastered this skill, demonstrate the colour match… “put the purple square sushi piece in the purple square” and so on.
- Make up your own games and have fun!
