Open-Ended Sorting Toys
Open-ended toys for sorting and collecting: loose parts, wooden rings, bowls, sorting trays, cups and natural materials.
Toys with no instructions
A basket of wooden rings, bowls and stones can be sorted by colour on Monday and become soup on Tuesday. Because nothing tells a child what to do, the game changes every time. This kind of play holds attention far longer than a toy with one purpose.
Putting a set together
Start with two or three kinds of loose parts and a few containers, since too much choice paralyses a young child. Natural materials in different weights and textures give more to notice than uniform plastic. Rotate what is in the basket every few weeks and the same pieces feel new again.
