This brightly colored shape sorter allows the child to identify and match the shape patterns with those on the board. Good for differentiating colors, shapes and forms.

Summary: Nice, non-toxic product - not made in China - but with a loose peg
Comment: Two stars were deducted because one of the pegs fell out which required a re-gluing. Otherwise, this product, like all other Plan Toys' products, uses replenishable rubber tree wood and vegetable dyes for coloring, and is smooth and well-machined -- good for the little one who sticks everything in her mouth. On the same token, the loose peg was small enough to pose a serious choking hazard and I always make a habit of regularly inspecting this toy -- something I should do with all toys anyway.

Summary: Great multi-purpose learning tool
Comment: This toy is a great learning tool. My 22 mo. old son received it as a Christmas gift and we have enjoyed it together from the start. He is developing his fine motor coordination by handling and correctly placing the shapes; his ability to identify both shapes and colors; and improving his counting skills. I'm sure there are other ways to use this toy, too. It seems to be quite durable and well made as well. All in all it is a great choice.

Summary: Beautifully crafted learning toy
Comment: Great for sorting, development of small motor skills, and shape and color recognition. This is a wonderful, open-ended toy. Beautifully made and sturdy. Ours has been with us through three kids and 6 years and still looks as good as ever. I wish more companies put as much thought into their toys. Plan Toys makes some of the best toys you can buy and they are reasonably priced if you consider how long they'll last.

Summary: A great shape/color/number/sorter puzzle for your child!
Comment: I purchased this for my son (who was 18m at the time) thinking that it would be a good first introduction to shapes and colors. It really was! He took to it right away and (for all you tired mothers and fathers out there) he stuck with it for a good half hour! It has pegs for each of the shapes and at first, he was having a little difficulty putting the appropriate shape on the right group of pegs, but he soon figured it out. The holes in the shapes are large enough so it is not difficult at all to put the shapes on the pegs - sometimes the problem with traditional puzzles. It is durable - made of really nice wood - made to last! I love wooden toys - just for the sake of durability and longevity - and this one is really worth it because you really get your money's worth. Just be careful - as with all puzzle pieces...they are easy to lose around the house.

Summary: Possibly the most fun of the shape sorters.
Comment: Don't adhere too closely to the age guide on this one. A younger toddler can begin a process of discovery by simply trying to place the shapes on the pegs. (Most of the shapes will fit only on the correct pegs) With a little parental guidance toddlers can see and feel that the two holes fit on the two pegs. Once they grasp that concept they really can take off. Even if everything isn't quite "right" by adult standards, it is still fun and if put away for a week or so, skills will invariably improve with each additional play session. The skills learned on this game seem to transfer remarkably well to other activities.
