Shape Sorter

How to play Shape Sorter

Shape Sorter is a drag-and-drop game for kids. Shapes — circle, square, triangle, star — fall slowly from the top, and your job is to drag each one into the matching bucket at the bottom. Wrong bucket? The shape gently bounces back. Build a streak and chase your best.

Controls

• Drag (mouse or touch) — grab a shape and pull it to a bucket
• Restart — start a new round

Tips & strategy

• Drag, don't tap. Tapping a bucket without dragging a shape doesn't sort — you have to hold and move the shape.
• Don't fight a wrong drop. A wrong-bucket drop just bounces the shape back — no penalty, no broken streak.
• Match shape first. Buckets are labeled with the same color as the shape they accept — but the SHAPE is what matters, not the color.
• Stay ahead. Two shapes can fall at once on later rounds. Grab the closer one to the bottom first.

About Shape Sorter

Shape Sorter is a classic preschool toy ported to the browser — the same idea as the wooden block boxes with cut-out shape holes, but on screen and freshly shuffled every round. It teaches shape recognition and fine-motor drag control.
