A shape sorting cube is a longtime childhood classic, and Melissa & Doug’s version doesn’t deviate too far from the existing mold. The wooden cube is covered in different shaped holes, and the kit comes with 12 different bright-colored shapes that are easy for little hands to grip shapes. If your kid masters the cube and you’re thinking about taking it to the next level, the company notes that its 100-piece wooden block set makes a nice companion piece to the toy as well.
