My 3-year-old has been matching the six wooden bees to their hives for almost an hour, which never happens. The chunky bees are easy for little hands to grab, and the colors are bright without being obnoxious.

The wooden bees fit into their hives with a satisfying little thunk, and my 4-year-old will sit there sorting them by color for a solid twenty minutes. The paint hasn't chipped once despite being dropped on tile more times than I can count.

My 3-year-old has been matching the six wooden bees to their hive slots for almost an hour, which never happens. The colors are bright and the pieces are chunky enough that she can grip them easily. Finally a sorting toy that doesn't end up scattered across the floor in five minutes.
