This is an educational toy with color-coding, actually used in the therapy for children with disabilities and children with developmental differences. I intended to use it for work, but I ended up buying two, so I am offering this one for sale. How to use: 1. First, start with color matching. It's okay if the child doesn't know the names of the colors, so start by matching the same colors and putting the felt balls into cups of the same color. If the included tongs are difficult for the child's age, hands are okay. 2. In the next stage, limit the colors and have the parent say the color names while putting them into the cups together. Instead of cups, you can use a toy truck or pretend play with food related to the colors (e.g., bananas for yellow). The parent can say, "Yellow, so maybe a banana?" Using the tongs is also good for training finger dexterity. *Rather than teaching, it's more like teaching through play ^_^ Besides questions about the product, you can also include comments about how to play with it and how to interact with your child. After answering, I will delete the comments the next day.
