I thought I would love this but it has been so frustrating for my toddler to play with- The container that you put each shape down into just isn't deep enough so the shapes all get into each other's way once they are in the container or trying to get in to join the others in the container- It makes me wonder if they ever watched small children try and play with it before they put it on the market.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Red Dye

Please do not make a product that is soft and cannot be cleaned! You advertise the product for a group of children of whom are teething! I TRIED TO CLEAN THE BAG PRIOR TO PRESENTING TO MY DAUGHTER AS ANY NORMAL PARENT WOULD. I CLEANED USING DREFT AND PAPER TOWELS NOT EVEN SOAKING THE BAG TO ONLY FIND THE WHITE PAPER TOWEL NOW PINK. My daughter will and would obviously want to put components of this bag into her mouth as noted only being 9 months old. I don't want my daughter to consume red dye.

Our 6 month old granddaughter loves this toy. It is a mobile, colorful toy that encourages and stimulates her fine motor and sensory skills. She can sit on a lap with this toy suctioned to a table while the family engages in a social gathering. The beads promote adults to talk to her about shapes and colors. Wonderful!

Disappointed in product

I love the idea of this toy but was highly disapointed in the design of it. The sides of the product are not deep enough for children to push the shapes in and have the shape stay in. Please consider making the shape sorter deeper for better design.
Pros: Durable, Entertaining, Fun
Cons: Poor Design
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this for my baby granddaughter (11.5 months). She Ioves the shapes and colors and looks carefully at each block though she does not yet put them into the right slots. It is a great toy that she can grow into. It is very beautifully thought out and the colors and packaging are great. Overall excellent quality.

worth the narrow depth annoyance

it's a little annoying that some of the pieces don't immediately go all the way down once the bag starts filling up, but it's ok to help your child push them in if necessary. otherwise, the colors are great, the bag is cute, they can carry it around like a little briefcase, and my daughter learned all her colors and shapes on this toy (before she was even 2 and a half). the shapes have taken a beating but haven't lost their color/haven't chipped at all.
I would recommend this to a friend!
