After delving into comics for a week, I want to jump back into something different — a cool education toy that I’ve just discovered. It’s the Super Sorting Pie, a learning-based toy, which inspires creative play and learning. My kids loved, loved, loved it.
You can play a sorting game — sort by colors or sort by types of fruit — a great activity for kids, especially preschoolers.
But, there is so much more to play using this toy . . .
- Pie shop
- Restaurant
- Graphing
- Counting
- Picking up things with tweezers
- Speed tweezering
- Anything else you can think of
Oh, the fun. And, do you know that my nine-year old carried it around for an entire weekend – to grandma’s house and back? So, even though it says for preschool, this toy entices anyone, even big kids, to play and imagine.
The Super Sorting Pie includes 60 counters — 5 different colors of apples, bananas, grapes, oranges, grapefruits, apricots and plums, 3 double-sided sorting cards, 2 jumbo tweezers, and an Activity Guide. plus the durable plastic pie (8.75″ in diameter) with a removable divider.

Not sure I can pick a favorite fruit! It changes with the season! If I had to choose that I could only have one for the rest of my life I would say grapes/raisins. They seem to be the most year round fruit that I will eat almost every day if available!
I like bananas…. They can be grilled, eaten raw, and you can put peanut butter on them. What isn’t amazing about them?
Oh.. and they make great pretend phones.

My favorite fruit varies with the season too — I’d say though a good fresh strawberry is my favorite (chocolate covered is good also)!
