I ordered this toy because my two year old had mastered his other shape sorters and I really liked the fine motor component the keys provide. However, upon receiving the toy I was a little let down. The reason being that the animals fit into the regular shape spaces. This means that a child can put the animals through the shape holes and since they fit, they think they've done the task correctly. This toy requires hands on for parents (which isn't a bad thing) so your child won't be able to play on his/her own without garnering a false sense of correctness. Also, the plastic locks are not very sturdy and seem as though they will break easily. I have seen older versions of this toy in other settings and they did not have this issue. So if you can find a used one at a garage sale buy it. If not, I would pass on this toy.

I bought this toy for my daughter on her first birthday. As a kid, my brother had an older version of this toy and I was expecting that when I puchased the Chicco Animal Cottage. In that sense I was a little disappointed. The plastic is much thinner and flimsier, the doors pop open easily without using the key, and the animals can fit through some of the holes at the top meant for the shapes. That being said, it is still a fun toy and both my one and four year old enjoy playing with it.

This toy is great! I have a son tthats3 and has a learning disability his therapists recommended gettting him a shape sorter we ordered this one.....it was a little spendy but well worth it! I like that it has shapes to put in the holes, animals that you have to put in the right holes and the keys are alot of fun for the kids to have to figure out which one goes where!!! I would definitely recommend this toy to anyone who has a little one it is great!
