Give pooch-loving preschoolers two ways to play with the LEGO DUPLO shape sorter: puppy house (10441) toy for 18 month old girls and boys. This fine motor skills toy introduces joyful learning about shapes and problem-solving as preschoolers use the DUPLO bricks to build a place for their pups to play, then drop the shapes through the holes in the lid. This toddler learning toy is packed with fun family learning activities. Parents can point out all the different shapes in the set as toddlers use them to build trees, animal toy figures and even a house. They can then enjoy creative role play with their cute LEGO DUPLO dogs, rolling a ball for them and feeding them a bone. When the imaginative play with the educational toy is done, the shape-sorting fun begins. Little ones will learn patience and focus as they figure out the right shape to fit each hole. And if they get it wrong, they'll build perseverance and hand-eye coordination as they try again to find the correct hole for their toy shape. This sorting toy makes a great gift for 1.5+ year old girls and boys.
