BigJigs Geometric Shape Sorting Game: recognise, place and try again

The BigJigs Geometric Shape Sorting Game offers a direct activity: look at each piece, identify its base and try where it fits.

Shapes to handle

The set includes several three-dimensional geometric shapes. Grasping, turning and placing them encourages children to compare shapes and colours while practising precise movements.

What it can support

• Hand-eye coordination: orienting a piece towards the correct place.
• Fine motor skills: grasping, turning and fitting.
• Visual recognition: comparing shapes and colours.
• Problem solving: trying another orientation when a piece does not fit.

It does not need to be labelled a “Montessori tool” to explain its usefulness. Discover the BigJigs shape sorting game at Bimbi Montessori.
