Give children a beautiful, completely open‑ended tool that supports mindfulness, creative thinking and early numeracy with the The Freckled Frog – Sort N’ Design set. This generous 240‑piece collection includes an assortment of high‑quality wooden shapes—cones, rods, rings, balls and more—painted in vibrant, contrasting colours. Children can use the pieces for pattern making, colour and shape sorting, or as props in tiny worlds of imaginative play. The possibilities are limited only by their ideas, making this set a standout for calm, focused play or collaborative exploration. A natural wooden tray is included for sorting and storage, which not only helps kids organise their play during activities but also makes tidying up straightforward. The tray doubles as a staging area for designs and patterns, encouraging repetition, classification and careful observation—skills that directly support early literacy and maths concepts like counting, sorting and recognising relationships. Crafted from FSC‑certified New Zealand pine and Lotus, the set offers a warm, tactile experience that’s both durable and gentle on hands. At roughly 26.3 × 26.3 × 5 cm, it’s compact enough for home or classroom tables yet large enough to hold a truly meaningful collection of shapes and colours. Ideal for children 3 years and over, Sort N’ Design works beautifully on its own or blended with other open‑ended toys. It’s an elegant gift for families, educators or anyone building a thoughtful play‑based learning space.
