Eggspressions Shape Sorter

A hands-on shape sorter that supports emotional recognition, fine motor skills, and social–emotional learning

Bring social and emotional learning to life with the Eggspressions Shape Sorter, a hands-on resource designed to help children explore emotions while building fine motor skills. Perfect for classrooms, early learning centres, and home learning spaces, this engaging set combines shape sorting with emotional recognition through playful, expressive eggs.

Each egg features a unique facial expression and a matching shape base, encouraging children to identify emotions, problem-solve, and strengthen hand–eye coordination as they sort and match. The eggs are cleverly bias-weighted, so they naturally stand upright in the correct position, supporting independent play and successful learning experiences.

The set also includes expression cards that act as conversation starters, helping educators and caregivers introduce emotional vocabulary, empathy, and social awareness in a developmentally appropriate way.
