Cheater or Pure Genius?

Tyler figured out that it's much easier to get the shapes into the shape sorter by lifting up the main lid instead of fitting each shape into it's individual shape slot. He's already thinking like an engineer- there are often multiple solutions to a problem. The shape sorter had been buried in the toy bin for a while and when we broke it out earlier this week we were pleasantly surprised to see Tyler fit the star into the sorter.

Tyler has figured out how to stack the rings in order by size. There are no alternate solutions to this toy!
