Great for color and shape recognition

This is a fantastic toy for helping encourage color and shape recognition with your child. My son has a great time with the shape sorting cubes. It is challenging and fun. Nothing beats watching his face light up when he matches the right shape to the right hole. It's also a fun way to emphasis color recognition too! Have your kid call out the color and shape as they find the right hole.
Pros: Durable, Entertaining, Fun, Great Value
I would recommend this to a friend!

Our grandson had so much fun Christmas when he open this. He and daddy put them in the right spots and when they were done he would day again. Love that he is learning colors and shapes while playing.

Our old shape cube has lost too many pieces over the years so we purchased this for our one year old granddaughter who loves to put things together. I love Melissa and Doug but feel this toy is a bit on the cheap side and more complicated than expected. There are a lot of shapes and some of them are similar. Hopefully she will grow into it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My 14 month old loves playing with this --- I got it after I realized she memorized the shape locations on a similar toy. The fact that you can only get one shape into each hole really ensures that she is learning. Plus, she can "operate" it by herself and it seems like it would survive a fall or two.
Pros: Durable, Easy Assembly, Entertaining, Fun, Great Value, Interactive

Real nice toy blocks. My grandson and I put the shapes in the proper spots in the box, then he likes to build towers with them. The reason for buying them was he had been given a set of these but it was missing 3 shapes.

Great Toy - could be Excellent

This is a great toy; it could be excellent. I'm surprised that in a classic shape-sorting toy: 1. There is no circle. 2. Both the rectangle and the square are dark green and very similar in dimension. 3. The lid easily slides off during "sorting". 4. Two sides of the cube have no shape slots, but the lid, which can be accidentally lost, has three shape slots. Great things about it: 1. Top-of-the-line Melissa and Doug wooden construction - sturdy and (non-toxic) colorful. 2. 3-D shapes are easy for small, chubby baby hands to hold. 3. Sorting box easily holds ALL of the shapes at once - no need to shake them "down". 4. 3-D shapes are interesting to feel and interesting to view from different angles. 5. There is a great variety of shapes (with exception of the "missing" circle), offering a learning curve for children. In other words, they're not all easy to do the first time. 6. The names and 2-D photos of each shape are printed on the back label. I even learned a new shape name! (Quatrefoil, the "clover" shape)
Pros: Durable, Entertaining
Cons: Poor Design
