Suitable for ages 3+, this is a very versatile play set from Learning Resources that also has great educational value. Rainbows are nothing if not colourful and this good looking 37 piece set is appealing to young children.Attractively boxed, this Rainbow Sorting Set would be very suitable for gifting. It's one of those toys that will grow with the child. They can start off simply by sorting the shapes - there are 30 of them - into the different coloured bands of the rainbow using the little yellow tongs supplied.This can help with fine motor skills and pattern but in very young children will also let them name the colours and as they get a little older they can count the individual pieces and use the activity cards.Either side of the rainbow shape there are cloud shaped compartments with lids which can be used to store the coloured counters, tongs and cards. As the build quality is good and it should prove robust, once a child's outgrown it, this toy could be handed down to younger siblings or passed on to friends with youngsters.

The best educational toys are the ones where a child can learn without even realising it.My 3 year old can count to 20, but still gets muddled in the teens, so these are perfect for practicing counting.Then there is the colour and shape sorting elements. Again, great ways to reinforce what my daughter already knows in fun little pieces.The tweezers have been discarded in our house, in favour of fingers. The pieces are small, so even if the tweezers were easier to use I suspect there might be frustration as the pieces flick across the room!!For £20 this set is really good. I create mini games with the pieces, like asking my daughter which colour or shape is missing, or which one is in the wrong place. As she grows I can use this set for basic maths, and already have ideas on new games we can play.Highly recommended!

This is one of the few educational toys that do a pretty good job of marrying in a fun and interactive experience with core learning principles. First is a fine motor skills that will be useful earlier on our easy to develop using the included tweezers and pieces. How do you progress the project involves more into the logic of sorting colours and shapes. Then finally you get to play the game where you will apply basic mathematics to start encouraging that side of things. House with all learning resources toys this is well made and well finished and pretty good value at £20.

Really love this. It is super bright, colourful and engaging and my little one is getting to grips with using his hand, eye coordination to sort through his rainbow sorting. You can use it for hand eye coordination but you can also use it simply for pattern and colour identification as well as basic numeracy skills. I love that it is all compact and nicely put away under the clouds so you can keep it nice and tidy. Fun and even I enjoy playing with this!

A great theme for my 2 year old as he is addicted to rainbows. He is advanced for his age so does enjoy putting all the colours into the correct trays, I would recommend that the age on this is as advised on the box. There’s so many other learning games we can play with this so I am excited for when he is a bit older to play them. There is a lot of little shapes so it’s going to be a challenge not to loose them. My 2 year old has already thrown them across the room!

Another educational and fun game from Learning Resource brand, this rainbow # game comes very nicely presented in a colourful and atractive cardboard box very sturdy and good quality too. inside the box you'll find a good size tray in a shape of rainbow with tweezers, little pieces to sort in rainbow colours and little cards to play the game in many other ways than sorting. everything is excellent quality, well made, interactive, fun and quality time spent for the kids ,lots of skills to learn also. definitely recommend!

I'm over the moon with this sorting activity. I got it for my 2 year old and he immediately started to play with it. He enjoys sorting the pieces by colour. The material feels very sturdy and durable.Although he didn't know how to use the tweezers at first, after only playing with it a few times, he got better and better. There are different ways of playing with this set and can be used for older kids as well which means that buying it you'd get a few years play for your child. I think that's great considering the current price of £20!

This compact set is great for little learners. My 22 month old daughter enjoys using the tweezers which really seem to support her fine motor skills. We also talk about the colours as she matches them, so it’s educational in that way too. It would be good if the lids to the side compartments clipped in underneath somehow whilst you use it. That way they wouldn’t get lost and could even stop the toy from slipping on certain surfaces.
