Little Fruit Skewers Kit

Eighteen fruits. Three kits. One tray, and a kid who's suddenly very focused.

A threading and sorting set built around one small moment in early childhood — when a child stops piling things up and starts putting them in order. Each fruit is sized for a pincer grip. Each skewer takes two hands doing different jobs. There is no picture on the box to copy and no correct answer.

Choose your kit above. Same tray, same skewers, same price — the difference is which six fruits come in the box.

Fruit Bowl Kit

Strawberry · Orange · Banana · Kiwi · Pineapple · Blueberries

The everyday fruit they can name before they sit down. Start here — familiarity is exactly what keeps them at the table for the second minute.

Tropical Kit

Dragon Fruit · Lychee · Coconut · Avocado · Lime · Lemon

The ones they don't have a word for yet. A child who has handled these has a hook to hang the real thing on the first time they see it in a market — the difference between what is that and oh, I know that one. Lemon and lime ship together on purpose: same shape, different color, and telling them apart means attending to one property while ignoring everything else.

Orchard Kit

Green Apple · Red Apple · Pear · Peach · Grape · Watermelon

The fruit that shows up in lunchboxes and on picnic blankets. Familiar enough to name, varied enough to sort — and home to the best discrimination exercise in the lineup: the red apple and the green apple, same silhouette, different color.

What's in every kit

Small: 

• 6 fruit types, 5 pieces of each — 30 pieces total
• 7-compartment sorting tray, 8.5" × 7.5"
• 10 skewers

Medium:

• 6 fruit types, 10 pieces of each — 60 pieces total
• 7-compartment sorting tray, 8.5" × 8"
• 15 skewers

Large:

• 6 fruit types, 15 pieces of each — 90 pieces total
• 7-compartment sorting tray, 8.5" × 10"
• 20 skewers

No duplicates across kits. All three use the same tray, so they stack and sort together. Collect all three and you have all eighteen fruits.

How to play

• Sort — by type, by color, by "fruits I've eaten"
• Thread — the two-handed part, and the hardest at first
• Pattern — build a skewer, then build it again. Then build one with a rule and see who can guess it
• Pretend — it becomes a fruit stand roughly ten minutes in. Every time.

Made to order
