Wooden Lion Color Sorter

Feed the lion. Match the colors. Practice the pinch and the scoop.

This wooden color sorting toy takes the classic Montessori cups-and-balls activity and adds a friendly cartoon lion with an open mouth — so little ones can drop a ball into the lion's mouth and watch it tumble down into the tray below. It's the kind of small surprise that turns a learning activity into a favorite.

Sort, scoop, pinch, and match across 12 vibrant colors. Toddlers learn to match each colored ball to its matching cup using their fingers, the wooden scoop, or the wooden tongs — three different ways to build fine motor strength and practical life skills, all from one beautifully made set.

It's a Montessori-inspired learning toy made with smooth sanded wood, child-safe water-based paints, and a calm color palette of 12 distinct shades — perfect for early color recognition. The lion figure, wooden cups, and storage tray are all designed to grow with your child from simple matching into more complex sorting, scooping, and counting work.

Designed for toddlers ages 1 year and up. CPC certified to meet applicable U.S. children's product safety requirements. Adult supervision recommended — the wooden balls are small parts and should be supervised closely, especially with younger toddlers.

A thoughtful gift for toddlers — for first birthdays, holidays, baby showers, and any little one beginning their Montessori learning journey.
