Of all the way too many toys my 11 month old has, I would say this one gets used the most! It's a very simple toy---basically just an open box with shape openings on the side. Blocks like the Peek-a-blocks but in different sizes come with it. It has batteries for sound, and the sound plays very easily when you put the blocks in, or in fact anything in! That is what is so fun for my daughter---I can fill the box up with all sorts of her toys, and she takes them out and puts them back in, and gets rewarded with non-annoying musical sounds for doing so! She isn't much for sorting yet, but I think she will be soon, and it's nice this integrates with her other FP block toys. Most any box can be used for most of what we use this for, but this is very durable, has smooth edges, and it's the rare case that the slight electronics it has actually adds to the fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Toy but Handle can be tricky, July 7, 2005

I agree with a previous review. The handle has pinched our daughter's fingers several times. I wasn't sure what to do so I just tried to watch her more carefully while she was using. One day while my husband was home he saw her do it. He took the toy and using a screwdriver took the top apart and removed the handle. Once she is old enough (she is eight months now) to carry the toy around we will put the handle back on. Other then that, I love this toy. I also use this sorter for storage for her other PeekaBlocks and RollaRounds. I was disappointed though, that normal shaped rollarounds won't fit in the circle shape. Other then that, I think the shape sorter is a great idea for a traditional toy. Sarah also loves to hit it so the music starts. All around it's a great toy and educational.

I bought this toy for my 9 month old about a month ago. I have been very surpried by how much he loves it. Aside from his activity house, it is his favorite. He learned very quickly how to take the blocks in and out. He can spend a lot of time just doing that. It's a great toy.
