So much better quality than plastic alternatives. The colours are bright, the pieces are chunky enough for toddler hands and the wood is clearly premium. My son is 2 and has learned all 5 shapes in 2 weeks.
Happy with the quality overall. My 2-year-old loves posting the shapes into the box. I do wish it came with more shape varieties but for the price it's great value. Came beautifully packaged.
My daughter is 18 months and this is exactly the right challenge for her. She's mastered the circles and squares and is working on the stars. The wood quality is excellent — smooth edges, no splinters. Love it.
Bought this for my nephew's first birthday. His mother says he plays with it every day and it's his favourite toy. The colour recognition aspect is great — he can now point to colours by name at 14 months.
The Montessori design means there is no frustration — she just tries different shapes until one fits and celebrates every time. No crying, no giving up. She learned all the shapes in 3 days completely on her own. Brilliant design.
