Product Overview

This portable wooden barn packs shape-sorting practice and open-ended farm play into one chunky, toddler-friendly set. Cutout shapes on all sides of the sturdy barn let kids fit 10 thick wooden pieces, including a horse, pig, goat, sheep, chicken, dog, cow, tractor, and farmer, into their matching slots. The roof flips up for easy piece retrieval, and a built-in handle means the whole set travels from room to room. Once the sorting work is done, each piece stands upright on its own, turning the toy into a barnyard play scene.

10 thick wooden pieces, sized for toddler hands, match up with cutout shapes on the barn
Extra-thick pieces support fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and shape recognition
Flip-up roof gives easy access for retrieving pieces
Built-in handle lets little ones carry the barn from room to room
Pieces stand upright for open-ended farm play once sorting is done
