4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for two year olds May 16, 2003

By Lori L. German

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

My daughter is 6 months old and has Down Syndrome. Her physical therapist introduced us to this toy and it has done wonders for her fine motor skills. She loves the colors and the texture of the mat. Look beyond the original inention of this toy and see its many possibilities. Just a little side note: Our therapist has had the same one for a year now and uses it with 5 or 6 kids a day. So far, it has held up wonderfully. Don't let the foam mat fool you...

4.0 out of 5 stars Educate a wide range of ages August 30, 2002

The 1st time my 19-month old son was introduced to this toy, he could insert the pegs into the holes with no problem (and he was sitting in the car seat). I strongly believe that parents should ignore the age recommendation and let the younger-than-2s try this toy out (pegs are too big to swallow, board is too thick to chew off). They can start by inserting the pegs, then stacking them (off or on the board). When they reach two, they can group by color, and later by pattern. The money is worth it because your child can use it for at least a couple of years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stacking Fun October 28, 2002

By Bonnie Giangrande

Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

This is a great educational and fun toy. I bought it when my daughter was 14 months, because at the time she was really into pegs and putting things of the sort into holes, and of course she loves to stack. I thought this would be the perfect toy to keep her busy and her mind expanding while playing and learning. She absolutely loves to stack the pegs and fit them into the holes, even though that part was a little tricky for her at first. She is now 15 months old and pretty much has it down. Soon we will be stacking and sorting the pegs by color. My only gripe on this toy is that the foam bottom is flimsy. It would have made a much nicer item for the money if it were all wood - but of course the pegs are plastic and the bottom is made of foam. One positive note however about the bottom being foam, is that this is a great travel toy! Throw the pegs into a plastic baggy and the foam bottom is thin enough to travel in a tote. It may not look like much, but someone took the time to design a toy/game for busy little minds, and knows what kids love! I wish there were more items of this sort; building, creating, etc. for young children - great job!
