FCSONU Toddler Montessori Shape Sorter & Educational Toys for 2-3 Year Old Boys & Girls, Wooden Toys for 18 Months to 4 Years, Perfect for Birthday, Christmas

My grandbaby who is too young to fully comprehend the sorting exercises still seemed to have a lot of fun going through all the different pieces that came with the set. This is definitely an excellent choice for a baby basket. I can confirm that the product is well-made and easy to put away. I have been told by others that it is not only really cute but also the perfect toy. The fake wooden cutting tool is the best and everyone seems to agree that the quality is high and the toy is very aesthetically pleasing, with a smooth wood finish. The toy is reported to be perfect for a kid around 1 year old, not too big and not too small, and the different openings make it ideal for refining motor skills. The only downside to the toy is the thin wooden sticks, which can be a hazard to unsupervised children.

We gifted this set to our neice and she LOVES it! It is very well made and the pieces aren't too small for her. The colours are bright enough to get her attention while still giving off a natural feel due to the natural wood.

This is one of the items in our toy rotation that leaves me unsure of how much I like it or not.The size of the box is great for my 1yo. It is not too big/heavy that they can't pick it up and carry to wherever they are playing; but it is also not too small that the activities don't fit well.Individually, each of the activities on this box are great. There are 4 color coded carrots that the child can match to the right color hole. The carrots can be "cut" and assembled back, which my child loves. We have a shape sorter, coin slot, and finally, another well loved activity to put sticks in the right color hole.The problem with this box is that it has too many activities together. This makes it hard for the child to isolate and concentrate on one of them. My child is constantly changing from one to the other without finishing either. Additionally, the bottom part of the box is attached via a magnet (so that you can open and retrieve items from the inside, but that magnet is not strong enough. Thus, the part keeps falling off (I just put it away for now). This is why I don't like it, I wish there was a better way to properly isolate each of the wonderful activities that this box provides.

Ordered this for our Grandbaby to play with when she comes over. She is 14 months and a little young to actually be able to do all the sorting activities. She did enjoy exploring all the different pieces that came with this set.It is well built and easy to store with the pieces fitting right into the wooden box.

I ordered this as a gift for a one-year-old, but I think some of the pieces (particularly the long, thin ones) are not really appropriate for a child under 3. The box indicates for ages 3 and up, but this kind of toy is really aimed for younger children, so that's a bit odd to me. However, the other pieces are larger, so if you just remove the long pegs till the child is older, it would be more suitable. The lid closes with a magnet, which is fantastic for storage - all the pieces can be tossed inside, and the lid will close. The colors are pretty and vibrant. The item I received does not have any issues with paint chipping as I saw in some other reviews.

We would purchase again.

I love that this toy is educational and the price is good but the paint is chipping off already so I took one point off for that and quality in pictures 2 & 3. I'm not sure that's very safe for babies incase they eat the paint or something. But I love everything else about the toy

This toy appears to be well-made of good wood and has a nice smooth finish. The mirror on the lid is clear with bright reflection. The top fits to the box magnetically. The play pieces fit nicely in their various shapes. There are 4 roundish pieces that kind of look like short carrots, but each is a different color. They are adorable. There are also a number of sticks made of wood 4 inches long and 1/8 of an inch wide. These worry me a bit if a child under age 3 would play with it. Even some of the shaped pieces are too small for ages less than 3 years. This type of toy is what a 3- or 4-year-old might call a “baby toy”. I would also worry with giving the sticks to a 4-year-old, they could poke it in their face or another child’s ear, nose or eyes. Not sure if they would benefit from it. The Package does warn not to allow children under 3 to play with it.
