‘Associations – 3’ sorter

About the game

What do these pictures have in common? Some objects are easy to group together, whilst others will require a bit of thought. Look at the pictures and try to find the right connections!

The ‘Associations – 3’ sorter is a wooden game featuring themed pictures and sorting tiles. The child compares objects, animals, geometric shapes and characters, identifies common features and sorts them into five themes on the board.

Every correctly identified group is a small discovery that encourages children to look more closely at familiar things.
