Oh... where to start playing with the wooden Cocoon Activity Table from Janod? Place the cogs into the correct position and turn them around. Watch the other cogs spin in turn. Stack the two different trees or sort five shapes into their colour coded slots. Move the coloured balls around the looping toy or push the vehicles around the track. When you have completed the circuit all the way around, you will have heard the bell tinkle and set the star in a spin. Waterpainted in muted contemporary colours, the activity table has anti-slip feet, is one of many items in the Cocoon range and a perfect toy for the playroom as it can be used by one or several children all at once!

The Cocoon Tap Tap and Shape Sorter is a funky ball and hammer game with a traditional shape sorter on the reverse and underside. The tap tap game consists of 3 coloured balls that are gently knocked with the hammer until they fall through the holes allowing your child to develop dexterity and skill while having fun! Once you're done, simply pull them out from the tray below and set them up ready to go again.

There are two shape sorter activities to choose from and both are an ideal first shape sorting toy from the age of 12 months. With the game right way up, you can match each shape with it's corresponding colour and shape painted on the front panel, assisting with which hole to push the shapes through. Flip it upside down and the base becomes a sorting board to place the shapes in their corresponding, colour-coded slots. Shape sorters encourage associative learning, concentration and motor skills. Made from environmentally friendly FSC wood and painted in muted contemporary colours, the Cocoon Tap Tap and Shape Sorter is one of several items in the Janod Cocoon range.
