Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory: Unique Shape Sorting Fun

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Lubica Misevski

Sorting shapes has never been so much fun for little ones as when they sit down to enjoy Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory. This unique toy adds a twist to the classic shape sorter many children play with in early childhood. While the toy contains only four slots, it has ten unique shapes that fit into those slots. By twisting, sorting, and playing, children can determine how each of the shapes fits through the slots. With the push of a button, the slots change, the top twists, and children have a unique opportunity to explore the toy all over again.

Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory encourages a number of developmental skills that can serve children well as they grow and play.

Spatial Reasoning

Not only does spatial reasoning help children learn how shapes fit together and interact with their environments, spatial reasoning skills can serve as a predictor of future problem-solving and higher-order maths skills. Children with solid spatial reasoning skills have the ability to take abstract pieces of information and connect them together in effective ways, allowing them to solve complex theoretical problems. Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory allows for an early look at this style of spatial reasoning as children shift and adapt the blocks to fit them into the spaces more effectively.

Problem-Solving

Not only does Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory allow children to explore complex spatial reasoning challenges, it encourages problem-solving skills. Children can explore the shapes in their hands, twisting and turning them until they fit into the spaces. Children must also consider when to press the button to change the shapes, shifting the problem in front of them--and once they have the shapes in place, they must evaluate the toy to figure out how to release the shapes and start the fun all over again. Problem-solving skills can help children adapt and flourish in many areas of life. With healthy problem-solving skills, they will have a better idea of how to approach challenges and how to navigate solutions, even in complex scenarios.

Fine Motor Skills

Fine motor skills are incredibly important for little learners. They need fine motor skills to manipulate small objects and eventually to learn how to write and operate with precision. Early fine motor skills success can help encourage children to further develop those skills and interact with more complex aspects of their environment. Due to the precision needed to move each shape into the appropriate space, Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory helps children develop and practice their fine motor skills in an age-appropriate way.

Experimentation

Every shape does not fit into every hole. In order to get the shapes into the right spaces, children will have to experiment and explore. Will this shape go here? What happens if they turn it this way? Throughout their play with the Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory, children will have the chance to experiment with their environment and get a better picture of how it will respond. Not only does this provide them with a more solid idea of the world around them, it can help encourage an attitude of experimentation that can carry children through the rest of their lives. A willingness to experiment can help children develop flexibility, problem-solving skills, and enhanced ability to cope with challenges around them--not to mention preparing them to come up with creative solutions to real-world issues.

Appropriate for children age two and up, the Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory is a great choice for encouraging learning and development through play. If you're looking for an excellent STEM toy addition to your child's toy box, this toy is an excellent place to start.
