sorting box
The most commonly used term. Also specifies that the clever child is able to sort out the different shapes :-)

Ups - der skulle have stået \"hard-working\". Men det bekræfter vel bare meningen...:-)
Til CD Clark: Vent du bare, til ungerne begynder at snakke \"Danglish\", så bliver det rigtig sjovt!

(brick) box
If you translate "klodser" to bricks, this one might work.

block-box
Når man snakker om legetøjsklodser, så er det altså 'blocks' og ikke 'bricks', man oftest bruger på engelsk.
Se også nedenstående citat:
"Just like our big building block sets, these blocks are high quality hardwood cut to interesting and stackable shapes, and stored in their own little block-box"

Jeg foretrækker faktisk Pernilles forslag.
Så kan du bruge verbet \'to sort\' i sætningen.

puttekasse
En puttekasse, som jeg kender den fra mit tidligere arbejde i en legetøjsvirksomhed, hedder en "shape sorter" (evt. "wooden shape sorter", da puttekasser ofte er af træ). Den leverandør, som vi fik puttekasser af, kaldte dem i hvert fald "shape sorters", hvilket jo stemmer meget godt overens med deres formål; nemlig at putte klodserne med de rigtige former gennem de rigtige huller.
