The Little Tikes Discover Sounds Shape, Sort and Scatter is a great learning toy for infants, toddlers & preschoolers! There are three modes children can interact with as they grow! Free-play shape sorting allows the child to sort shapes. The toy gives feedback by telling the shape and color of the fish that was inserted. Once all the shapes have been collected, they will be dropped and scattered. Directed shape sorting is learning mode for toddlers! The toy will prompt the child to find certain shapes, colors or numbers. If the child sorts the right piece they will be rewarded with a glowing green light. If the child inserts the wrong shape the bottom will automatically drop and shapes will drop/ scatter. Game play mode is for older children! This stage is for children that have learned their shapes, and colors. It is a race against the clock, as kids have to race to find the correct shape and color called out by the toy.
