Beautifully decorated board with seven colourful cogs. The cogs come in two sizes so there is a bit of interchangeability but the big ones, at least, are colour-coded.  It's fascinating watching how turning one cog turns them all - appeals to the curious child in me.  From an engineering point of view, please be aware that the cogs, being wood, don't always turn perfectly smoothly as plastic or metal ones would. Our demo one can stick a bit especially if someone has switched the cogs around.

This is a simple wooden shape sorter that sells well in our shop.  We have one on display and both adults and children play with it. Nothing particularly fancy about it but people like it and it's good value.  Comes with six different shapes.  Everybody enjoys slotting them into the correct holes but it's funny how many people can't work out how to retrieve them. (You slide one of the spokes up)
