Felt Sorting Baskets

Loose parts just got a cosy makeover! With our tactile Felt Storing Baskets, children have an exciting new way to view, experience and experiment with loose parts play. These sturdy sensory storing baskets are perfect for practising storing, sorting, organising, matching and practising fine motor skills. Children will love exploring their resources in new and imaginative ways using this warm sensory material.

Plus, the sensory exploration isn’t where learning ends. Each of these baskets within the set is divided in a different way to provide children novel opportunities to transfer, count, store and more. From a halved basket to whole, six part and four part, each basket encourages children to explore in a different way and invent new, imaginative ways to explore loose parts. This also provides a variety of benefits for Maths ideas and mathematical thinking - children will love splitting items into groups, counting, adding and subtracting using the different fraction sections.

Plus, these baskets aren’t just for Maths ideas. Our Felt Sensory Baskets make a great addition to your role play area, too. Add bowls or role play items like our Bulk Natural Tea Set and play food, and enhance your role play provision - children will love adding food in and out of the baskets and serving their friends in the home corner or play restaurant.
