Vtech - Winnie The Pooh - Sort 'n Learn Cart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When this toy arrived I was really surprised with its size. Its a pushable cart so I imagined it large enough for a toddler to stand and push but this cart is only about 6 ins. tall. A baby could push and pull while sitting but my son has to bend over to push it.
The box also says age is 12 months - 36 months, not 6 months - 2 years like stated here on Amazon.
That all being said. . . my son does like this toy and its very educational. We still like the toy, I was just diappointed with the size.

Lauri Toys Tangrams Plus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This toy is amazing! My children both love it and will play with this toy for 30+ minutes!
I think the age category is a little on the high side. My 4 year old does all levels independently and my 2 year old can do some of level one independently and level 2 with assistance.

iPlay Cool Tools Activity Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my son who is almost two and a half because he has a big interest in tools. I chose this one over some of the more realistic sets because he has a baby brother on the way and I didn't want to get him something with too many choking hazards. I also liked that this has screws and bolts so he can practice actually using the tools.
Pros-
-cute talking shape sorter
-screw driver, hammer, and wrench can actually be used with the accompanying bolts, screws, and nails
-cute carrying case to contain all parts
Cons-
- TOO LOUD! This toy does not have a volume control and when the child turns the gears it plays children's songs at a high volume.
- no on/off switch. It would be nice to be able to turn the sound feature off, so the child could just practice the mechanic aspects of the toy.
- Toy does not come with the molded plastic insert shown in the picture. My child can rarely get all of the tools to fit inside by himself.
- The drill makes realistic drill sounds, but the bit does not turn. How hard would it have been to make that happen?
My child is enjoying this toy, but it is still fairly new. If I had had a chance to try it out before buying, I think I would have picked something else.

Battat Shape Sorter Cube Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son got this Shape Sorter for his first birthday, and I was immediately impressed with the thoughtful details. Unlike the classic Tupperware toy, the pieces are easy to get back out, even for little hands. Ours is better than the one in the photo, in that the sides are color-coded with the pieces that match that side. This makes the matching easier, and gives us an excuse to talk about colors as well as shapes. The sixth side has some bead sliders to make the toy interesting even before your baby is ready for matching. Plus, some of the shapes are letters and numbers. The whole thing seems very sturdy. I hadn't heard of this brand before, but I'm impressed.

Plan Toy Sorting Bus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a well made and attractive wooden toy. As a pull toy it falls short in that the string is too short for the wheels to stay on the floor with our child has the string in his hand. As a sorter, it is useless. Maybe as a child gets older, he will put the shapes into the proper receptacles. Until then, if he uses the shapes at all, he puts them into the open back. The open back is a problem, though. When the toy is pulled (carried around) the shapes just fall out the back. Our guy does seem to enjoy placing the driver into its proper spot, at least. Save your money and buy a GOOD pull toy and a GOOD sorter. This one is not good in either category.

Small World Express Egg-Shape Sorter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me count the ways that this is a horrible toy:
If you put an egg in the carton wrong end down it can get VERY stuck and what kid knows to put the skinny end down?
The case is flimsy plastic.
The carton says 18 months+ but it is a choking hazard for kids under 3...hmmm.
The "quote" on the side is supposedly by a 2 year old - "With the Egg-Shape Sorter learning my shapes was over easy!" - what 2 year old says that!!

Brilliant Basics - Baby's First Blocks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our son received this block sorter when he was only about nine months old. He's two now and still plays with it frequently. Very few toys can claim to pass the tests of being interesting and educational throughout such a long span in the baby-into-toddler period.
The block sorter itself is a tub about the size of a half-gallon milk jug. The sorter lid sits atop the tub; it fits securely but doesn't lock down with any tabs or snaps that would frustrate a child. On the flip side, this means that turning it over dumps the blocks everywhere, although that's a primary means of enjoyment for our two-year-old now!
The set comes with about a dozen blocks in assorted colors (red, blue and green) and shapes (circle, square, triangle and star). All of the pieces are solidly constructed for lots of use. The blocks are sized appropriately to be easily grasped by baby hands without being so small as to present a choking hazard.
Early on, our son just liked to see the blocks spread out in front of him. We'd name off the colors and shapes and he'd enjoy picking them up and feeling their shape and texture. Eventually, he began his take-out-and-put-away phase and these provided lots of fulfillment for him. However, he wasn't quite ready for the lid, so he would leave it off. Now, he enjoys matching the shapes to the holes in the lid and working on his fine motor skills by turning and flipping the blocks in his hands. We also use them to reinforce the names of the shapes and colors and he's using them to learn and repeat these words.
The baby/infant/toddler toy market is flooded with battery-operated, hyperactive button-pressing sound machines disguised as "learning" toys. It's great to find one such as this that takes a comparatively simple concept and pays big dividends in fun and learning. Its low price and quality construction make Baby's First Blocks an excellent value as well.

Melissa & Doug Noah's Ark Shape Sorter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The ark & animals are very colorful and my 20 month old son loves playing with the animals and naming them.
The only problem is this really is NOT a shape sorter as the animals can be put in nearly any hole just by tipping them sideways. My son rarely puts them in the "right" hole as it is so easy just to put them all in one of the holes on the top. When we do try to put them in the "right" hole it is a challenge to get them in right as there really is no good way for little fingers to hold onto them and put them squarely in the hole.
Overall, great toy, but do not buy it if you are really looking for a shape sorter.

Battat Shape Sorter Bucket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a shape sorter bucket with, stars, circles, squares and triangle shapes, 2 for each shape so you get 8 in total. The problem with this toy is that the bucket was slightly out of shape, so the lid was difficult to fit, and this of course frustrated my toddler. I went back and exchanged it for another one but that also had the same problem. Also, you can push the triangle through the circle cut out if you put it sideways and have it at just the right angle. Don't get me wrong, the toy has some education value, but there are so many better made shape sorters out there, I wouldn't recommend this one. I did buy this at a local store that sells brand names items at a discount so I only paid $5 so it's not worth taking back to the store, but it's certainly not worth more than that.
The main problem I have is the shapes fit through a paper towel roll. From what I read, any type of toy/block..ect that fits through a paper towel roll is considered a choking hazard.

Baby Toys: Hide and Squeak Eggs Sorting Fun Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, at Easter I bought 2 entertaining types of eggs. I bought these and I bought the "Hide em and find em" eggs. These were way cheaper and a MUCH better deal in my opinion. My 22 month old son still plays with these and through them, I am able to teach him colors, shapes and he can work on his fine motor skills. These are a great toy! And they are not just for easter. They are durable and big enough that they aren't a choking hazard. The don't require batteries......yeah!!!! And the only sound they make is when you push down on them they make a little squeak. The tops fit onto all 6 of the eggs and I love the little carton they all come in. I will definitely be buying this as a gift for other friends as I think it's an amazing toy!

Plan Toy Shape and Sort It Out Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I chose to buy this shape sorter for my 12 month old because it is solid wood and the shapes only fit through their own holes. This is important, because MANY shape sorters have more shapes, but they will frequently fit through more than one shape hole.
This toy good for Montessori-style learning, because it has the natural control of error.
This toy is simple, but good quality, and my daughter loves it.
The lid is not attached, like some, but that's fine. We play with it togther and she has almost as much fun matching the lid to the box!
