Wooden Shape Sorting Puzzle Board

A wooden board with shapes cut out of it, each piece lifted by a wooden knob.

The knob is what makes it work for small hands: a pincer grip on a peg is a different skill from grabbing, and it is the one that later holds a pencil. Every piece only goes back one way, so the puzzle corrects the child rather than the adult doing it.
