Move each shape into the basket marked with the same outline, no matter its color.

About this activity

Sort Shapes into Boxes is a shape-sorting game for children ages 4–5 that raises the challenge with three baskets, nine shapes, and colors that no longer match the baskets. Children drag each shape into the basket with the matching outline while ignoring color as a distraction, sharpening shape recognition, sorting, and attention to detail.
