Product Description

Classic rattle, shape-sorter and counting toy! Here's a toy that grows with a child, from infants to pre-schoolers. As a rolling rattle, it has lots of open spaces for infants to grab. Toddlers can use the 10 pieces to match the shapes on the toy, allowing them to identify shapes and develop coordination and dexterity. Each piece also has a number on one side with the corresponding number of dots on the other to teach preschoolers number recognition and counting.

My son is 7 months old, and he loves this toy. He plays with the individual shapes while he waits for dinner in his high chair. He also enjoys shaking the ball and hearing the shapes rattle around inside. Since it's designed to grow with a child, it won't be long before he'll be able to put the shapes in the ball.

After disappointed from buying the Fisher Price shape sorter (all my 16 mo old did was pull off the lid and play with it, which defeats it's purpose) I did some research trying to find a better product. My husband suggested this because he had it as a child. I didn't remember having this, but I ordered it and I'm glad I did. Not only does it come with a lot of different shapes, it's also hard for the baby to take apart. Other shape sorters that have lids or tops that come off won't do any good. This one requires an older person to pull the two sides apart, therefore, opening the product and allowing the pieces to come out. I thought it was pricey when I bought it, but after seeing it in person I realize it'll last a very long time if not forever and it can be passed on to my other future children.

I think my daughter got this toy for her first birthday. At first I only let her play with it while I could help her, because she'd get frustrated or bored. I would put the shapes halfway into the slot and help her push them in. Then I would put the shape into the correct position in her hand and show her the slot to put it in. Eventually, I would let her pick the shapes she wanted to put in, and position the ball for her to put the shapes in the slots. She's 23 months old, and can put all the shapes in herself, quickly and easily, and she can name about half of them as well. She's also figured out how to open the ball for herself and empty the shapes, so she can play independently.

She's now teaching her little (6-month-old) brother how to play with the toy (he just likes to chew and drool on the shapes right now). This is a durable toy, and totally worth the extra cost.

There are just some toys every child should grow up with (oldies but goodies), and this is one of them!
