How it works

Post. Sort. Pull along.

Post

Start with the classics: circle, square, triangle. Twelve-month-old fists learn to grasp, turn and post, and every clunk through the lid is applause.

→

Sort

Fifteen shapes, each with one correct slot. Matching the moon to the moon teaches sides, corners and colours without a single flashcard.

→

Pull along

Shapes in, lid on, string out. Today's lesson rolls behind them to the kitchen, the hallway, and wherever the day goes next.

Questions & answers

Everything parents ask before buying

Is it actually educational, or just a toy?

Both, which is the trick. Shape sorting is classic early-years territory: shape and colour recognition, fine motor control, and the first taste of problem-solving when the star refuses to fit the moon's slot. The Pull Along Shape Sorter just does it with 15 shapes instead of the usual handful, so there's more to name, count and compare as they grow.

Is it really 41% off?

Yes. The Pull Along Shape Sorter normally sells at £27.99 and is currently £17.99. It's a genuine markdown, not an inflated "was" price. When the sale ends, it goes back to full price.

What age is it suitable for?

From 12 months. The shapes are deliberately chunky for small grips, and the play grows with them: posting at one, proper sorting and matching at two, naming shapes and counting corners by three. It's one of those rare toys that spans the whole toddler stretch.

What's it made of? Is it safe?

Solid wood with a smooth finish and non-toxic, child-safe paint. Every piece is EN71 safety tested, and the shapes are sized so they're safe for little ones from 12 months. The cart measures 19cm by 10cm by 8.5cm: big enough to load up, small enough to pull through a doorway.

Does it work as a gift?

Beautifully. It arrives in our signature gift-ready packaging with ribbon, it suits any toddler from their first birthday, and the wide age range means you can't really get the timing wrong. At the sale price it makes a generous first-birthday gift without the generous price tag.

What's your returns policy?

30 days, full refund, no conditions. Return it for any reason and we refund in full. We've been standing behind what we make since 1795.

Our story

Making toys worth keeping since 1795.

Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been making things that pull children away from passive entertainment and into active, curious, hands-on play.

The Let's Learn Pull Along Shape Sorter exists because the best learning doesn't look like learning. Fifteen shapes, one correct slot each, and a string to take it all with you: every piece was designed so a one-year-old can start and a three-year-old still hasn't finished.

Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
