Sensory stacking toy - shaper and textures

The tactile pyramid is an excellent educational toy for children aged 2-4. It introduces shapes and forms to your child. Each pyramid element has a unique texture: textured, raised, and others. These soft textures help develop children's sensory perception, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination through play.

The model is optimized for 3D printing and is conveniently sized for children.

Below are three ways to interact with this educational toy:
1) Basic game - string the shapes onto the columns in any order, in any shape and color. The game can also be played without columns, allowing your child to experience the texture of each shape, thereby developing tactile sensations.

2) Option 2 - invite your child to explore the shapes, then, at the adult's request, string only squares onto the first column, only round shapes onto the second column, and only triangular shapes onto the third column. Also, if the printed shapes are multicolored, you can have your child string only pink shapes on the first column, only blue shapes on the second column, and only yellow shapes on the third column. (The color options shown are based on the colors in my print and render; you can use any other colors that you or your child prefer.)

3) Option 3: Lay out all the shapes in front of your child and state the rules: the child should string the shapes on the base columns in the following order: first column - square - circle - triangle; second column - triangle - circle - triangle; third column - circle - square - triangle. The sequence can vary, and you can also make it more challenging by adding specific colors to the rules. This game will develop attentiveness and perseverance in your child.

My model was printed using matte PLA plastic. It's safe, but it's best to avoid exposing the model to direct sunlight. Due to its natural composition, the plastic can warp in the sun.
