Trying not to HAVE A MOMENTโ€ฆ good news 1st my Google business profile IS BACK ๐Ÿฅณโ€ฆ BAD NEWS so far all of my reviews over the last 11 years have disappeared ๐Ÿ˜ณโ€ฆ except for 2 wonderful reviews that have just arrived ๐Ÿฅฐ I have used AI to ask the ??? and it said that hopefully in the next couple of days Google it will start reloading my previous reviewsโ€ฆ๐ŸคžSomething that you may not know about meโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve always found it hard to read our reviewsโ€ฆ itโ€™s uncomfortable, I worry and I get embarrassedโ€ฆ please donโ€™t take offence if I go into hiding ๐Ÿซฃโ€ฆ BUT I need to remind myself that reviews can often be peopleโ€™s memories of gifts that theyโ€™ve bought and smiles that theyโ€™ve hadโ€ฆ conversations at the counter. Kids pressing their noses against the windowโ€ฆ playing at the pretend Cafe or bouncing along the chalk hopscotch on the footpath. Families who had been coming back year after year and thatโ€™s a good thingโ€ฆ because I wouldnโ€™t be here without you ๐Ÿฅฐ

UPDATE ON GOOGLEโ€ฆ so initially Google has denied my appeal after showing lots of documents lease electricity bill ATO etc. The next step Iโ€™ve just undertaken in the appeal process is a Google live video showing that I manage this shop opening it up with keys etc. Hopefully now they will approve my appealโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž - Warts and all small business journey ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Whoโ€™s up for a little friendly competition? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜‚

Whether youโ€™re bluffing your way through Little Secret, racing to get those eggs cooking in Sunny Side Up, testing your memory with Grocery List, trying your luck with Pickle Grab, or building your way to victoryโ€ฆ thereโ€™s nothing quite like a good old-fashioned game to get everyone laughing. ๐Ÿฅ’๐Ÿณ๐Ÿ›’๐ŸŽด

Board and card games are such a brilliant way to sneak a little learning into play too โ€” encouraging memory, concentration, turn-taking, fine motor skills, problem solving and social skills without anybody realising theyโ€™re โ€œlearningโ€. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Perfect for:
๐ŸŽ Birthday presents
๐ŸŒง๏ธ Rainy afternoons
๐Ÿก Family game nights
โœˆ๏ธ Holidays and weekends away
๐Ÿ˜‚ Or simply finding out who in the family is way too competitive!

Pop into The Coffee Apple and have a browse โ€” weโ€™ve got games for little ones, bigger kids and the grown-ups who insist theyโ€™re only playing to help the children. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Which one would your family choose first?

Count, sort, scribble, postโ€ฆ and start all over again! ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ”ข๐ŸŒˆ

There is so much more hiding inside this gorgeous Traditional Wooden House Number Sorter from The Toy Workshop than first meets the eye.

Beautifully made from wood and bursting with bright colours, this clever little learning house invites toddlers and preschoolers to explore numbers, shapes, colours and early maths concepts through hands-on play.

Little learners can find the matching openings around the house and post the colourful wooden numbers, mathematical symbols and shapes through the correct spaces. Once everything has disappeared inside, simply retrieve the pieces and begin the sorting fun all over again!

And then thereโ€™s the roofโ€ฆ โค๏ธ

One side doubles as a little blackboard, complete with chalk, giving children another way to explore numbers, practise their first marks, draw pictures, experiment with shapes or perhaps attempt those very first wobbly number creations.

Itโ€™s a wonderful combination of shape sorter, number toy, early maths resource and chalkboard all wrapped up in one beautifully traditional wooden toy.

Why we love it

Perfect for children aged 2 years+, the Wooden House Number Sorter encourages:

๐Ÿ”ข Number recognition and early numeracy
๐Ÿ”ท Shape recognition and matching
๐ŸŒˆ Colour recognition
โœ‹ Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
๐Ÿงฉ Problem solving and spatial awareness
โž• Early introduction to mathematical symbols
โœ๏ธ Pre-writing and mark-making skills
๐Ÿง  Concentration, persistence and independent play
๐Ÿ’ญ Open-ended learning through play
The chunky wooden pieces are ideal for little hands to pick up, turn, investigate and manoeuvre into place, helping children discover through trial and error that sometimes a piece simply needs to be turned around before it will fit.

Suitable for ages 2+
