Skillmatics Silicone Rainbow Sorting Game for Counting, Matching & Fine Motor Play
Product description
Colorful silicone shapes, easy-to-grip tongs, and activity boards give preschoolers hands-on ways to practice sorting, counting, and matching. The Skillmatics Silicone Rainbow Sorting Game is designed for children ages 3–6, with several activities that use the same set of pieces.
It includes 48 silicone shapes, six stackable cups, four double-sided activity boards, two tongs, a storage bag, and a learning guide. That mix makes it more than a basic color-sorting toy, while keeping the activities centered on handling and arranging shapes.
Where it shines
The set supports color and shape recognition, counting, sequencing, matching, stacking, and fine motor practice through play. Children can use the tongs to pick up shapes and place them in cups, or follow the boards for activities such as bingo and sequencing. The different formats offer a practical way to change the activity without switching to a different toy.
The maker describes the shapes as food-grade silicone and says they are odorless and free from BPA, latex, lead, PVC, and phthalates. The listed materials apply to the shapes, they do not establish details about the material of every other component.
Buyer feedback also highlights the educational play and sorting activities. Some customers say the game keeps toddlers engaged, and others value its opportunities for matching and fine motor practice. These are individual impressions, not a guarantee that every child will stay interested.
What matters most
The tongs add a hands-on element beyond placing shapes by hand, while the cups and boards create different ways to sort and arrange them. For a caregiver, that can make it easier to set up a short activity around counting or color recognition, then switch to a board-based game. What makes this set different from a simpler sorting toy? It combines several play formats and comes with a guide to using the pieces.
Worth considering if you want one set for sorting, matching, and early counting activities. Not the best choice if you are looking for a toy outside the listed 3–6 age range or for an activity focused on a different kind of play.
Best use cases
Use the cups for sorting shapes, the tongs for picking and placing, and the double-sided boards for guided games such as bingo, stacking, counting, and sequencing. The storage bag is included for keeping the components together after play or carrying the set between play areas. The exact activities depend on how the learning guide and boards are used.

Should you buy it?
Choose this set if you want a hands-on learning toy with more than one way to use the pieces, especially for sorting, matching, and counting activities. Its included tongs, cups, and activity boards offer more variety than a basic sorting-only setup. The age guidance is specific, so it is most relevant when the child is within the listed 3–6 range and ready to handle small shapes and use tongs during play.
