I really wish the "shell" of the turtle stayed on better. It does not lock in place, so if you touch it (much less a baby hitting it with blocks), it moves. My son plays with blocks, the base and the shell all separately, but I had to buy another shape sorter for the intended activity.

Not a huge fan of this toy. The lid (or back of turtle) comes off easy as other reviewers have said. Baby has a difficult time putting the shapes in the sorter because of the angle at which the shape has to go in. She has been using it since about 12 months old but possibly it will be easier when she gets a little older. For now she plays with the one that has a flat top and doesn't lose interest as fast.
Toy is durable and cute and we like that the shapes make noise. I would choose a different shape sorter for a small child.

I bought this toy for my nephew for his 1 year old bithday, even though the age limit on this toy starts at 6 months it is still very beneficial for a 1 year old! He loves it and plays with it every day, and you can't beat the price.

The top to this shape sorter comes off too easily, making it pointless. My son is 9 1/2mo. old and the first thing he did was take off the top & throw it. He wasn't interested in trying out the shapes. It's too bad. It's such a cute toy & I love how the elephant moves on the front. All the toy needs is a latch so that adults can take the top off to get the shapes out, but that will keep babies from taking it off prematurely.

Great toy for children 6 months to 2 years! I like how all the shapes have different features. A great toy for the price!

Bought this for my grandbaby. It is an uncomplicated toy that does not make noise (yea) but is very educational. Glad i bought it.

I bought this before my son was born because I thought it was adorable. I finally pulled out when he could sit up by himself, but the only thing he was ever interested in was pulling the top off the turtle of chewing on the yellow triangle block (this one is somewhat rubbery compared to the hard plastic of the others. When he got a little older he started trying to play with it, but would give up. In my opinion, there are a few design flaws - 1) The dome makes it difficult to see all of the openings at once. My sone would have to try and turn it or move around it to try and match the shapes. 2) the top comes off way to easily. A slight bump and it falls off. While I realize it needs to be easy for a child to take on and off, this one falls off in the course of using the toy.
I finally purchased another Fisher-Price shape sorter (Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby's First Blocks) and he loves it. Only good thing was that I was able to use 3 of the blocks from this one with the new one (the green square is too big).

This toy is pretty good. It teaches hand-eye coordination and colors and shapes. My daughter really likes the cute little blocks.

This is a cute toy and I like that the shapes rattle. They catch the attention of your baby. The only thing is the shell part just sits on the turtle. It does not lock into place or anything, whick makes it impossible for your baby to correctly use the toy.

I bought this for my daughter to work on her fine motor skills with placing the shapes in the holes, but because the shell does not lock at all she just throws around the shell or wears it on her head. I wouldn't recommend it for it's intended purpose.
