This shape sorter is made of a smooth plastic shaped like a snail the body is blue. The head with cheeky grin and Google eyes is yellow. The head is easily removed and then slotted in again. There is a blue plastic tie to keep the head in position.There is a clear see through circular body which is the container for the shapes. A red curved lip flaps over the top of the body. The lid has three shapes cut out of it to post the colourful shapes through. The snails size is 9"Hx10"Lx3 1/2"W.
There are 10 bright primary coloured shapes to post these come stored inside the snails “shell” These shapes are a flower shape, a star and a triangle. These shapes are thick and chunky and will stack together. With a bit of fiddling by your child these shapes do fit easily into the shaped holes provided. . The red lid flap can easily be lifted to put the shapes in too.
A small child will happily play just emptying and filling the snail with shapes. This activity is good for early fine motor skill practice. Soon they will try to post the shapes through the holes learning how to fit shapes. Your child will sort the shapes and colours and stack the shapes too so lots of learning and practice here.
There is an incentive of a single merry tune when the snail is rocked on its slightly curved base, there is a button that can be depressed towards the front of the snail .

Personally Although this is bright and attractive I think there are better shape sorters available. This Fisher price shape sorter costs £9.99 through http://www.amazon.co.uk
