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.
