Learning Resources Super Sorting Pie - Food Toys, Counting and Sorting, Ages 3+

my impression of the Sorting Pie. At first the general impression. These toys are definitely worth all their rewards. very high quality, the figures are quite solid, but they are comfortable to hold in a child's hand, they do not have sharp corners. In the set of 5 kinds of figures, each in two colors. A total of 60 fruits. Two pairs of big forceps, and of course, 3-piece liners, each two-sided. The package is written from the age of 3, but you can play it earlier, and certainly for a long time. Tasks of varying complexity, from the decomposition of the colors, to the number of pieces and shapes. my daughter was totally ecstatic about the pie. First, my daughter laid out one fruit, then poured everything together and laid out in separate cells, then turned over the task and laid out another set of fruits. In general, while this whole thing was happening, my mother even managed to cook dinner with TWO HANDS. and at the end she laid out all the fruits, closed the cake and wanted to bake it on a toy plate in general we were both very pleased.

Wow! I was apprehensive at first about seeing this game online, but once I got it in I was all wrong. It's an awesome game for your little one and even the older ones! The recommended age for this game is 3+; however, I wanted to see if a child a little bit younger would like it. Of course he was supervised because of the smaller pieces, but at 2 years old you supervise them anyway. There are a few different games you can play with this pie. You can sort by colors, numbers, shapes, and fruit type. The blue bottom part of the pie disconnects from the part that divides the pie and then you can place whichever card type you want on it. It comes with 3 cards that have different sorting options on both sides. Then you just slide the divider over the pie. We placed all the colored fruits in the top of the pie to hold them while we played the game. It comes with 2 sturdy little clampers that you can use to pick up the colored fruits. I tested these out on children ages 2, 5, 7, 8, and 9. None of them had any trouble using the grippers. After playing the color game with the 2 year old about 3 times he knew what he was supposed to do. It was very exciting to see. He was so proud when we would all clap because he got them right. The other kids who played with him had just as much fun! I highly recommend this game. It's fun, it's educational, and so rewarding for the kids and parents when they do a good job!

This Super Sorter Pie is an excellent learning tool. I was a teacher for 23 years and it helps with many sorting tasks, eye – hand coordination, small motor skills, and early math skills needed for many learning activities. The fruit counters are very well made. They are much larger than expected. This makes it much easier for small hands to handle. They are easy to grip because they are a rubber material and not slick plastic. I was also impressed with the size of the 2 Jumbo tweezers. They are very large and the gripping area is wide and easy to grab the fruits with. When I looked at it on the website it looked like the wheels just lay to the side, but I loved that each wheel goes in the bottom of the pie pan and then the separator goes on the top to hold it in place. The child is able to see exactly what to put in each portion. Each wheel has 2 sides for a variety of ways to sort their pie pieces. {By 1-10 numbers, colors of fruits, actual types of fruits, and fruits by the shape and no color}. Then they can put the large lid on top to keep the wheels, fruits, and tweezers in for good storage. This would be excellent for learning centers at preschools, kindergarten and even first grade. I would DEFINITELY recommend this product.

The sorting pie is quite a bit larger than I expected (about 12" in diameter and 3" deep). There are many more ways to sort than I expected as well. For example there are apples, plums, peaches (same mold different colors) and raspberries, grapes (same mold different colors) lemons, oranges...well you get the idea. There are five different sections to the pie and different cards you can position under the sections to "guide" on how to sort (type of fruit, color, shape, etc). To play we dumped the fruit into the "upper crust" or lid of the pie. Then we chose the method of sorting and placed the card under the section divider. The set comes with two pincers. The pincers have great tension for strengthening muscles. My nine year old has issues with his grip and this was a good exerciser for him. I CANNOT STRESS HOW WELL MADE this product is. Every item in it has a great weight and durability. This would've excellent in any PT OT Dr office hospital or classroom!

First look of the package it has suggestions of activities for sorting, counting and color sorting. I like that as I like to encourage a fun game but also one that isn't mind numbing. The picture looked like the game would be fun to play. It is shaped like a pie so you can also pretend to cook with it too. The picture of the instructions on the box isn't very good, kind of hard to read. All the activities and suggestions on how to use the fruit in different ways was really helpful. Product doesn't seem flimsy and cheap. This looks like fun and I had fun playing with the grandkids. You can even use the box to store the game in so you don't lose any of the pieces. It is age appropriate with some adult supervision for the young kids. I kind of wish the fruit was a little larger but wouldn't keep me from buying. Since it comes from China I would be interested in if it contains any toxins as I can see young kids putting the fruit in their mouths. Also with the BPA scare out there for parents it would be nice to know if it was BPA free. This would be a plus if it was put on the outside of the box. The game was an easy setup and fun. I would definitely get for a young kid. Older 7+ wouldn't be much fun I think.

We are loving this great learning toy ~ The Learning Resources Super Sorting Pie. It is a simple and easy to use toy that has so many available ways to use it. It has nice sized pieces that aren't too small for little ones who are learning with it. It comes along with little charts that can be placed in the bottom of the pie pan so that the child using it can be challenged to sort all the fruits by shapes, colors, type of fruit, or count by number. It also came with two sets of tongs so that the child can work on and refine some motor skills by moving the pieces using the tongs. I love this for our toddler. It will come in handy for lots of homeschooling activities and would also work great for preschools and/or daycare. Among learning all the colors and shapes and kinds of different fruits, there are 60+ pieces so it will allow for lots of counting activities when the time comes with our toddler. I would definitely recommend this for friends and family or anyone who loves to have learning toys in their home. Our toddler doesn't seem to get bored with it either which says a lot for a toy!!!! The sorting pie is also a toy that is compact and easy to store because the "top crust" to the pie is somewhat like a lid and so all the fruit and both set of tongs can all be stored together. All-in-all, a great addition to our toyroom!!!

Exactly as described. Kids loved it.

I first saw this toy at a kids' group I take my 2 year old to. There were 4 or 5 kids all trying to play with it at once - they all loved it! So I decided to purchase this toy for my daughter. My two daughters and I enjoy playing with the pie together, sorting it in all sorts of ways. I like to use it with my 6 year old and get her to create patterns with the colours and types of fruit.

to put the small pieces in her mouth for a taste! She's 3, so this was not totally unexpected. She quickly took them out cause the taste was NOT pleasant! The package DOES contain warnings both on the box and on a paper insert, about this possibility. The packaging wording says the toy is for children 3 and up, and I definitely would not reccomend this toy to any child under 3. The set includes 2 small tongs that can be used to move the fruits around. You can see these in the photo. It's all very coilorful and seems to be something that would last through several childrens usage, so it would be around a long time. This makes it very worth the price for todays budget minded families. There are 3 paper circle pieces included, that fit in the bottom of the plate. These are printed with numbers, colors and shapes that can be used to identify the pieces. These paper circles are a bit flimsey so I'm not sure how long they will last. All in all, my grand daughter and I spent several hours being fascinated with colors and counting! Including us making a "pretend" pie and by using the tongs, we served the fruit pieces on her tea set plates for our afternoon snack along with her usual cookies.

I received this product as a part of the Walmart Spark Review program. I let my grandkids play with this over the holidays, and it does have some learning potential. It does get repetitive very fast. You have all the different fruits and colors to sort, but after you sort them , that is about all there to it. It does help with color recognition and shape recognition. the pieces are easy for little children to handle but my grandkids got bored with it very fast. It has a lot of little pieces, so if you have smaller children this is really not a good product. They could end up chocking on some of the pieces. I like the idea of the crust holding the fruit as they count and sort, but this is about the only thing I did like. I would not recommend this to anyone , as it does get boring fast.
