Tastaro is an educational matching game that helps promote visual and tactile shape recognition while boosting memory skills at the same time.
Different options of play and levels of difficulty mean that Tastaro is suitable for various age groups and accelerates the learning curve in a fun way.

Body cognition: By touching and feeling, children learn to understand and classify surfaces and forms. Conscious muscle work and targeted tasks help develop the child’s motor system.

Language: In an environment where speaking is spoken, and in communication with adults, children develop their language and expand their vocabulary. Knowledge of symbols, letters, and figures is the basis for further development of language and thinking.

Calculation skills: Children are familiar with characteristics such as shape, weight, volume when playing with their usual objects. Children gain an understanding of quantity and number, get acquainted with the basics of computing and geometry, understand concepts of time and space, and learn to classify them.

Set includes 32 cards (4.5cm x4.5cm), 8 shapes and 3 cotton pouches.

The Baric Tablets introduce and refine the concept of the baric sense (differentiating weights). While blindfolded, the child endeavors to discern the weight of the tablets. Error is self-corrected by the colour of the wooden tablets, the lightest colour being the lightest weight to the darkest colour being the heaviest weight. The set consists of a wooden box with three compartments containing ten each of light, medium and heavy weight tablets. Each tablet measures 8cm x 6cm.
