    My son loves this block sorter but it is a bit harder for children under 2. He knows all of the shapes now but used to get extremely frustrated when he couldn't figure it out. Great toy though! Jan 21, 2020

  • Awesome shape sorter! Great price for gift giving. The blocks can be used for sorting or stacking. Perfect toy for 1-2 year olds. Jan 02, 2020

    The shapes are thick and easy for littles to hold while trying to find the matching hole. The colors are bold and the hatch is easy to open and empty. Jan 02, 2020

    I love that this is wooden but it is busy and over stimulating with all the different shapes to try and fit in. Would be a great second step once your baby has mastered a more basic shape sorter Jan 01, 2020

  • My 19 month old son loves this and I anticipate it will be a good toy for him for a few more years. I like the durability of the wood as it’s held up better than the plastic shape sorter we have Jan 01, 2020

    Cute toy, keeps my toddler busy for about half an hour. Helps them to learn the shapes and colors. Pieces are made of solid wood so it will hurt someone if your child likes to throw like mine does. Nov 17, 2019

  • My children love to put this together then dump them all back out again Oct 16, 2019

  • A must have for toddler parents!! Perfect learning toy! Sep 25, 2019

    One of our most loved toys. My son has been playing with it for over a year. Sep 22, 2019

    I love pretty much everything Melissa and Doug and everything wood but unfortunately the paint on our set chips off and I’ve found chips in my kids mouths. We had to get rid of it. Sep 20, 2019

  • Perfect little sorting cube. My daughter loves to try and figure it out. When they are little it is fun just putting the pieces in the box and as they get older they can work on the shapes! Sep 09, 2019

  • Great motor skills toy when they are babies all the way through toddler years and occasional teething toy Aug 12, 2019

  • My 18 month old has been playing with this since 12 months Aug 09, 2019

  • We played with this constantly when my son was 2 and he definiately learned his shapes faster than his friends Aug 02, 2019

  • Another great product from Melissa & Doug! Amazing quality, worked great to teach shapes and colors with young toddler. Jul 15, 2019

  • This is great! Toddlers love learning shapes Jul 15, 2019

  • Sharp edges, not great for younger kiddos. May 11, 2019

  • Both my two year old and under one year old love to play with these. My baby loves looking at the colors and chewing on them while my two year old enjoys matching the shapes to their correct slot. Apr 30, 2019

  • Too many sharp edges, get a plastic version instead Apr 25, 2019

  • Such a great classic toy! My 3 year old still plays with his occasionally and loves seeing how fast he can match all the shapes and problem solve. Mar 13, 2019

  • So cute. So many choices to attempt. Great toy to make them think. Feb 08, 2019

  • This is a great toy to encourage fine motor development, shape recognition and determination! Jan 31, 2019

  • We bought this for my 1 year old and I think it might be a little advanced for her. I think once she understands shapes she will enjoy it more. Jan 30, 2019

  • The size of this is too small for 2 year olds. Also, the quality of this toy is terrible. Jan 18, 2019

  • As with most Melissa and Doug toys, we love this cube. It's challenging and fun for little ones. Great quality product. Oct 12, 2018

  • I feel the amount of shapes is a little advance for this age, and more appropriate for older toddlers aged 3+ Jul 12, 2018

  • Great for an older child. Our son is a 18mos. The corners of the box and lid are not rounded but sharp and could do some damage if he fell on it. The shapes are obscure and confusing for a young child Jul 01, 2018

  • For an younger kid this cube can be a little challenging Jun 16, 2018

  • Another Melissa & Doug win, a great way to practice shapes and manipulate the box to find what goes where. Mar 22, 2018

    We love wooden toys. This is a classic. It’s been good for teaching my toddler shapes. She is still too young to figure out which hole to put them in. I like that one side slides off to get blocks out Feb 05, 2018

  • My son loves the shape sorting cube! The pieces fit easily into their shapes. It's easy to dump out all the pieces. Nice high quality toy! Jan 22, 2018

  • My son is 9 months old. We spend a fair amount of time stacking, taking shapes in and out and him chewing and banging these. He isn't old enough to figure out which shape goes in which hole. Nov 14, 2017

  • Overall a great learning toy that a child can grow with. The lid doesn't stay closed so the shades often get dumped when the box I picked up or carried wrong (as toddlers tend to do). Oct 19, 2017

  • Fun toy that is getting used more often now that my 3 year old is in preschool and is learning about shapes. Oct 08, 2017

  • Have had since 2011 with Baby 1 its now 2017 this toy is still bright and in perfect condition even with all of the years of play. My children love it. Aug 09, 2017

  • Our son loved playing with this, but the paint kept chipping off of the blocks, so we got rid of it. Did help him learn his shapes quickly though. Apr 27, 2017

  • My 15 month old LOVES this Nov 21, 2016

  • High quality like all M&D items I have encountered. I love their wooden toys. Bright colors, great size. Jul 22, 2016

  • This is actually a little difficult as they use some very similar shapes but overall its high quality. I wish the lid stayed on better though. Jan 24, 2016

  • Got this as a hand me down, and it's in great shape. The amount of 5+ sided shapes can be confusing for little ones, but my 2 yr old still likes playing with it and is learning shapes with it. Oct 22, 2015

    10.5 month old is finally starting to figure out how to put blocks into the box (not yet through designated holes - but still fun!). Aug 25, 2015

  • I wish there was a way to lock the lid in place because it slide out pretty easily May 28, 2015

  • It is so dangerous when the wood splinters... May 11, 2015

    Great for fine motor skill development. As our kiddo has gotten older we give less and less help. Great for multiple ages. Love the company that makes it, we have several toys of theirs. Apr 09, 2015

    Classic shape sorter! For younger kids, I just take out the most basic shapes and just let them work on one side. Nov 08, 2014

  • My son loves this and it taught him shapes. But the one downside is that there are a couple shapes that are very similar, which can be confusing and frustrating. Sep 17, 2014

  • This shape sorter is a little complicated (there are some pretty advanced shapes, and only one block fits in each hole) but our little lady LOVES it. We love that it's wood & holds her attention ;) Aug 18, 2014

  • The edges are a little sharp. I don't like to leave this toy out. Aug 12, 2014
