‘Transport’ wooden sorter

About the game

An ambulance, a fire engine, a tractor and a refuse collection lorry are rushing about on their respective errands. But all the vehicles have got mixed up! Help each one find its correct place on the game board.

The ‘Transport’ sorter is a wooden frame with nine different types of vehicles. The child examines the vehicles, compares their shapes and finds the correct slots for each one. Whilst playing, you can name the vehicles and discuss what they are used for.

Once every vehicle is in its place, the little fleet is ready for action again.
