Vintage Fisher Price Shoe Shape Sorter Pull Toy. Measures about 7" in height by 8 1/2" long. Comes with 3 wooden people. Good condition. Shows age and use.
Bring home a piece of classic 1960s playroom history with this vintage Playskool wooden shoe shape sorter pull toy. While often associated with the "Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" nursery rhyme, this iconic piece was a staple of early childhood development, combining a pull-along toy with a fundamental shape-sorting activity. The toy features a sturdy wooden base with a lithographed cardboard upper, vibrant pink plastic wheels, and a red and white striped pull cord.
This set includes three original rectangular wooden people figures in primary colors, each featuring a unique hand-painted expression. These figures can be "tucked into bed" through the various shaped cutouts in the side of the shoe, helping toddlers develop fine motor skills and shape recognition. As a genuine vintage item, it shows honest signs of age and use, including some wear to the lithographed edges, which only adds to its authentic mid-century charm. It is a fantastic addition to a collection of traditional wooden toys or as a nostalgic display piece for a nursery.
This item is vintage, over 50 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
