Do the mats include cut-and-sort pieces?

Yes — each mat comes with picture pieces to cut and sort into the printed categories.

Are the category labels included?

The categories print as drawn icons with blank labels, so a teacher can add exact wording if needed.

Can I get a different sorting theme?

Yes — the direction field takes any category set, and the same three mat types redraw around it.

What size do these print at?

Portrait A4 proportions, sized to print and laminate for repeated tray use.

Sorting mats printable: colour, shape and living sorts

Sorting mats — a landscape mat split into three columns, each column headed by one large filled circle in red, blue or yellow with an empty label bar beneath it, the header across the top lettered "SORT BY COLOR", and a row of small cut-out picture pieces fenced along the bottom behind dashed cut lines: a red apple, a blue fish and a yellow sun, a bright flat classroom design, bold rounded panels with thick clean edges and simple icon drawings

The Montessori-style work mat every shelf needs: a two-column sort by colour, a four-quadrant sort by shape, and a 'living and non-living' sort with picture pieces to cut. These nine come in bright, pastel and blackline looks; the categories print as drawn icons with blank labels, so any sorting theme requested redraws the same three mat types.

About toile

This page is a showcase: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each one shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Toile has no generation wired to this page yet — nothing here is made to order, and there is no account, no upload, nothing to buy. What you see is what exists. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
