Material Sorting Table

Sort a table of objects into groups based on the materials they are made from: wood, metal, plastic, paper, fabric and glass.

How to play

Choose any object on the table. Drag it to its material box, or tap the object and then its box. Use the pictures and names to help. More material groups appear as your profile level grows.

A wooden spoon belongs in Wood. A steel spoon and a paper clip belong in Metal. Sort by what an object is made from, rather than what it is used for. A grown-up can help read the names.
