Build upon organisational and categorical sorting in this engaging and educational workshop. Our presenter and learners will discuss possible ways of categorising their toys, e.g., by colour.

Learners will then discuss and sort a variety of toys from our science toybox into one of three categories. Some toys might have more than one possible category and therefore the group must decide which is the best box.
