I got this because it was on sale, and I thought it would help my son learn to sort shapes. It is very nicely made, sturdy, and cute. But as far as helping him learn, it's worthless. Half the shapes fit into other holes than the one it is intended for. How does this help him really learn what goes where when he can just throw any shape in any hole? I guess it would be okay for babies who just want to put things in and take things out of boxes, but for a toddler teaching toy, it's pointless.

My 1-year-old daughter received this toy for her birthday and has hardly played with it at all. As a shape sorter, I'm not pleased with this toy. The lid easily comes off, making it very hard to actually put a shape in any side other than the top. It's also difficult to fit the shapes into its designated hole. When my daughter does play with this (she's 1 1/2 now) she usually just plays with the box. Also, the wood is coated with a shiny substance, which makes me nervous if she starts chewing on the pieces. I wouldn't recommend this toy. Personally, I think the best shape sorter toy is the classic red and blue one made by Tupperware.

This toy is visually attractive to my little granddaughter baby & is made well. It also is educational teaching puzzle skills while not having a million parts to pick up after playtime.

Very sturdy toy. Seems like it wasn't designed very well or something. The lid is also used as one of the holes to put one of the shapes in. Also some of the shapes are small enough to come out of other holes. Confusing? Yes.

i bought this item because my baby likes big bird. he immediately played with it,as a sorter i think its a bit harder, because of the irregular shapes. but the wood is nicely done, nice product. i think its durable since its made of wood, but it could hurt though. just remember, when baby plays with toys, there should always be supervision. never leave them alone.

The objects are not equal sided, so it is a bit advanced for the age it is suppose to target. It seems some kids could become frustrated with trying to place each objest in it's correct spot, being an adult has to apply some skill!

The product is very well packaged. The shapes fit very easily into the openings. The only small complaint I have is that the top comes completely off. I guess it is easier for toddlers but I just find it is one more item to get lost and also makes it impossible to turn with out it falling open. For the $ I think it is worth purchasing.
