Oombee Cube is a rubbery shape sorter that comes with pieces that are attached by a string (awesome for travel or when on the go). The shapes require the use of two hands to pull apart and insert back into the holes which helps build bilateral coordination and strength in the hands. Love this concept for a shape sorter!
