Explain that it doesn't fit using encouraging language · Talk about the colours and challenge your baby to show you the shape that matches the colour. · Show your baby how to separate the toy to empty the sorter - take out one shape at a time and challenge your baby to fit the shape in - using lots of praise. · Increase the challenge by removing two shapes at a time - building up to completing the task in one go. · As your baby develops he or she will be able to sort the puzzle out independently using both shape and colour knowledge. · Always use encouraging and supportive language and praise successful sorting. · Show your baby how to roll the shape sorter along a flat surface - encourage your infant to move to retrieve it.
