Woodies

Hi!
Does anyone have a simple solution to sorting woodies by size? I'm not very fond of touching them and was wondering if there's a 'hands free' way to do it.

I think the easy answer would be - no.
I get what you mean though. I have friends who get icked out easily who won't go near my woodie tubs...

Sure. Put holes in the bottom of a container large enough for only small(baby) woodies to fit through then pour all the woodies in and shake over a separate container so all the small ones fall into it.

Don't forget you'll need teflon painted on the sides of all containers to stop them climbing out!

Alternatively, put holes into a plastic tub which only the size you want can get into, put food into the tub and they'll sort themselves out.

For some strange reason I still sort them by hand

They disgust me also so I freeze them for a couple of minutes and that shuts them down and then I pick them out with tweezers
Hope that helps

Yep, buckets with holes drilled in the bottom and teflon painted around the top. Stack them inside each other and tip in the woodies. You can grade them into as many different sizes you want just add extra buckets with the appropriate sized holes.
