Key Features of the TickiT® Wooden Sorting Fruit & Vegetable Crates

• Stackable, Colour-Coded Crates: Each crate is brightly coloured to support colour recognition. These stack neatly for easy storage, while providing a visual sorting guide that adds structure to playtime.

• Detailed, Durable Design: The fruit and vegetable pieces are crafted from durable hemu wood and hand-painted for a lifelike appearance. They are the ideal size for small hands, encouraging easy manipulation and helping to develop fine motor skills.

• Versatile Play Options: This set includes two threading strings with wooden threaders, allowing children to assemble the fruits and vegetables into kebabs or create their own arrangements. This threading activity supports concentration, dexterity, and hand-eye coordination.

Engaging Learning Through Play

The TickiT® Wooden Sorting Fruit & Vegetable Crates encourage children to engage in imaginative play, collaborative activities, and meaningful conversations about healthy eating. The set can be used for a variety of activities:

1. Sorting and Matching: Each crate is colour-coded, helping children to sort the fruits and vegetables by colour. Sorting helps develop logic and sequencing skills as children match the colours, shapes, and types of produce.

2. Learning About Nutrition: This set offers an interactive way to introduce children to healthy food choices. You can use the crates as a conversation starter about where fruits and vegetables come from, the climates they grow in, and how they benefit our health.

3. Fine Motor Development: Threading each fruit and vegetable onto the string is a great way to build hand-eye coordination, patience, and dexterity.

4. Role-Play and Imaginative Play: These crates make a fantastic addition to play kitchens or market stalls, where children can engage in pretend shopping, cooking, and serving food. This type of role play helps them understand social interactions and develop their descriptive language skills.
