KMTJT Montessori Carrot Harvest Shape Sorter for 12 Months 🧸
Description:
This wooden carrot harvest toy brings simple, hands-on play to toddlers and helps develop early matching and motor skills, especially during playtime or group activities. It pairs seven different-sized carrots with corresponding holes so a child can practise shape sorting and hand-eye coordination while enjoying colourful, tactile pieces.
Key Points
The set is made from sturdy pine wood and finished with non-toxic paint, so surfaces are smooth and without sharp edges for safer handling. The brightly coloured carrots include felt leaves to add a soft texture and to encourage sensory exploration, making counting and colour recognition more engaging for young children 🥕. Play can be shared between parent and child, or used in small groups to introduce turn-taking and cooperative play.

Benefits
This toy supports early STEM skills in a low-tech format by encouraging sorting, matching and basic problem solving. Motor control improves through repeated grasping and placing, which also aids dexterity and the pincer grip needed for later tasks. The tactile contrast between smooth wood and felt leaves invites sensory play and keeps engagement high during short attention spans. Parents often find it useful for short teaching moments, such as naming colours or counting carrots together 🧠.
Usage Recommendations
Set up the board on a stable surface at the child’s height so they can reach comfortably and move pieces without leaning too far. Introduce one or two carrots at a time to avoid overwhelming the child, then gradually add more as they master matching. Use playful language and count aloud to reinforce number learning. Consider combining the toy with other farm or vegetable figures to extend imaginative play and create simple role-play scenarios with a rabbit or worm character 🐰.
Consider that the paint finish and small felt parts mean supervision is recommended for younger toddlers, according to the manufacturer.
