12 Ways to Use Your Pegboard Stacking Toy!

Pegboards are a great toy for fully engaging your child to easily and quickly gain the critical skills needed for a smooth transition into preschool. Skoolzy Pegboard Sets are also great for building fine motor skills, improving hand-eye coordination, developing and strengthening visual perception skills, increasing visual motor coordination, making patterns, and more!

1. Stacking!

Toddlers love to stack things. Have your child stack the pegs to make towers! Ask, "How tall can you stack your tower?"

Stacking helps build strong fine motor skills and good hand-eye coordination. The oversize pegs are ideally suited for little fingers to grasp and stack on the pegboard.

2. Color recognition!

Color and shape recognition begins around age one. This ability allows toddlers to identify colors which is considered a marker and milestone in a child’s cognitive process. Can your toddler sort the different colors into lines on the pegboard? Can they name the different colors? Choose any pegboard from Skoolzy to get the basics of color recognition mastered by your toddler.

3. Sort by Color!

Sorting helps kids recognize colors and strengthen cognitive development!

For basic color sorting use the Skoolzy Pegboard Set. Sort the pegs by color on the pegboard into towers and in piles off the pegboard.

4. Shape Recognition!

Observational skills starts by identifying the different shapes. Your child will soon be able to discern the similarities and differences between colors and shapes: a critical skill needed in math, science, language and reading.

5. Sort by Shape!

Sorting the shapes into their respective hole helps children recognize differences and similarities and also helps kids develop problem solving skills.

For basic shape sorting use the PEG SHAPE SORTER. By figuring out how to drop each piece into its proper hole, kids learn to categorize and learn about shape discrimination. The perfect starter shape sorter for babies and toddlers.

For more advance shape sorting use our SHAPES PEGBOARD. This stacking toy allows children to stack by shape. There are 12 different colors and 12 different shapes.

6. Color Matching!

Identification of colors helps to create the cognitive link between visual clues and words: the beginning aspect of language development. Use two of our pegboards and have your toddler work on their color matching skills. Can your toddler match the same color pegs on the pegboard from two different pegboard sets?
