Montessori Toys for 1+ Year Old, Wooden Sorter Cube with 8pcs Rattling Shapes, Developmental Learning Toy Gifts for Baby Toddler Boys Girls, Gift Packaging

My 1 year old granddaughter likes to fit geometric blocks into the specific holes for their shape , but she gets frustrated because she cannot do it independently yet. This toy is perfect because she can fit the blocks through the elastic bands all by herself, and she can spend a long time playing with it.I had read reviews that the box was smaller than what it appears in the photos, so even though it is a bit small, it feels perfect for her little hands.I like that it is a wooden toy and not plastic. It seems sturdy enough that it will last many hours of playing with it. She has only had it for a couple of days.I like that the toy will get more complex as she gets older. There are 2 levels of difficulty for the bands, and then she can start using the geometric shapes when she is ready.

I’ve beed slowly replacing my son’s plastic toys with the wooden ones and this shape sorter is a total hit! It’s great, I really can’t complain about anything and I wish we had this one when he was little. He’s 3 and he’s been playing with it non-stop since it was delivered. He sorts all the shapes (there are 8 different ones) and carries it around the house, he even asked to take it to bed for his nap :) The toy is nice quality: natural materials, bright colors, everything is smooth and pleasant to the touch. And as a good quality wooden toy it will last FOREVER. Totally worth buying, much better than plastic ones. I will probably get a couple more as gifts for my friend’s children.

This exceeded my expectations. It’s very well made! The pieces rattle but aren’t super loud or annoying. I definitely recommend.

10 month baby is able to pull blocks out and put them back in through the ropes, not quite at the level to put the blocks through their corresponding holes. Easy to pack up with us on travels and baby loves it.

We were planning to buy the Inny Bin for our 10M old, when I stumbled upon this one in my recommendations. The wooden frame caught my eye, since I prefer wooden toys over plastic. The toy itself comes in cute packaging. I like how it acts both as a shape sorter, and a freestyle box. While my baby is now a pro at removing the blocks through the bands, I like how we can eventually teach her about shapes as well. We also like to stack the blocks, and have our baby hurricane tear them to the ground. The blocks themselves are super cute - wooden, colourful, with a gentle sound. But I would suggest being around your child when s/he’s playing, since the blocks may just break and the small rattles can be a choking hazard. If your baby mouths EVERYTHING like mine does, you can expect the paint on the blocks to chip. But it’s still very worth it, and a few dollars cheaper than the Inny Bin. Go for it!

Our just-turned-one yr old granddaughter loved this, and so did her parents.. It was part of her birthday present. An updated version of an old standby, it’s better made, more colorful, and more interesting. Smooth wood and sturdy elastic. The pieces that fit into the cut-outs, or slide between the elastic, also make quiet noises. A very successful gift. I would gift it again.

Great quality set other than there was a defect in one of the wood blocks which makes it a hazard for my nine month old. All the other blocks were fine so I can just throw that one out or refinish it myself.

This was a birthday present for my one year old granddaughter and was a huge hit! It's clear that it will grow with her as she develops, which increases the value. Right now she can take the blocks in and out of the side with only vertical bands. As she gets older she'll be able to do the other sides. The blocks make a lovely soft rattle sound which she loves. An excellent choice and very well made!
