A toy to grow with [76 OF 155 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
I got this toy for my child at the recommended age. It's amazing to watch her quickly sort the pieces, 8 months later. She integrates the shapes with her other blocks while building. The pieces have maintained their color and withstood a lot of banging!

Great quality toy with a design flaw [97 OF 209 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
The quality of this toy is exceptional. However it has a major design flaw. The toy has cube, cylinder, and triangular prism shapes. The problem is that the prism fits through the opening for the cylinder which defeats the purpose of a sorter.

Great educational toy [108 OF 212 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
I got this toy for my son when he was about 6 months old. He quickly learnt to insert the circle shape, and has been working on the square and triangle ones. He's also used the shapes as teethers and they are still in pretty good shape.

Perfect combo of learning and fun [187 OF 312 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
I like that this toy's educational value has been ongoing - my daughter (16 mths) quickly learned the circle shape & has been slowly working on the square, triangle & using the lever - and it's also lots of fun for her at the same time. Good investment!

A Daily Favorite! [133 OF 252 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
Not as simple as it looks, the brilliance of this toy is in the sequencing steps. My granddaughter is joyous when, after placing a shape in its spot, she can push on the blue platform, and the shape reappears! With only 3 shapes, she can be a champion!
