5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches Shapes, July 28, 2005

This is a great puzzle! The voice speaking the names of each shape is very clear, and my 2 year old is learning his shapes using it! The puzzle says the shape name, and then he repeats it. Teaches beyond the circle, square, triangle! Very good learning tool! Seems durable, and batteries are lasting quite a while.

Numbers / Letters / Shapes by Melissa and David

These products are designed with a small light sensitive button under the number, letter or shape. Note that while I am only referring to the number game below that the same analysis applies to the letter (ABCs) and shape games. When you place the number in its appropriate slot (Example the # 2 in the number 2 slot) the game will say "two". The problem with the design is that it will also say two if your hand passes over the 2 slot while you are on your way to placing a 3 in the 3 slot. It will also say 2 if you cover the sensitivity button in the 2 slot with a 5, 6, 7, etc. I returned the numbers and letters game because the design problem of having the game calling out other numbers and calling out numbers other then the number my daughter has in her hand since that would tend to confuse her. I kept the shapes game even though it has the same design problem because since it is only 9 shapes (slots) vs. 20+ numbers or letters (slots) the problem is not as prevalent.

I would like this puzzle better if it didn't say the shape name until the correct shape was in its place. No matter which puzzle piece you hold over a cutout, it says the name of that cutout, even if it doesn't fit in that particular cutout. Perhaps there is a reason for this that I'm missing? Other than that, I really do like this puzzle (as does my 2-year-old). I love the objects in the cutouts that represent that particular shape. I think they really help to make the connections in the little ones' minds.
