Excellent shape sorting cube
Great for 3 year olds. Cover is too loosely fitted (& blutack is hardly a satisfactory solution). Box can be rattled to allow insertion of all the impressively solid & chunky wooden shapes – which I would have liked to have been itemised (i.e. parallelogram, cuboid, pentagon, hexagon, quatrefoil etc.) On balance: superb item – highly recommended.

Good sturdy toy
I bought this shape sorter and stacking toy for my 1 year old grandson for when he comes to my house there are lots of bits with it he loves the colours and shapes. Nice quality item .
Lovely toy for developing dexterity and logic
We were lent one of these by a childminder and baby loves it so much that I had to buy her one of her own! She’s starting to make connections between where the shapes and colours line up, and where the blocks should go (I mean she still needs a little help to actually slot the blocks through the holes but that’s fine, she’s 13 months). This shape sorter is a definite favourite and I’d recommend it for anyone with a curious and busy little baby. And yes, it’s tough enough to stand up to gnawing as well as general use.
Melissa & Doug the only way to go!
These products are generally great value and a well made product in terms of longevity/durability. This is no exception. I received a video of my nephew unwrapping the cube and continuing to try and put the shapes in the spaces designed for them. I’d share it here but I think my sister would have something to say about that!
Great but could do with tweaks
Got this for our 9 month baby. He loves removing the shapes out and also taking all the block out of the box.
Unfortunately the box had splinters whe i opened it on it. I have had to sand and then paint the outer box. Not what you expect to do.
Item needs Improveme
The box opens with the shape side
It’s great when little one is in the mood for it.
The box should open on a blank side… not on a side with shapes cut out. My little one just opens it and puts them in.
Excellent development toy for 12-15 months old
Excellent concept to help little ones with colours and shapes. My 13 month firstly just enjoyed putting the shapes in the top and after a month had mastered all the shapes in the right places. He still enjoys it and is helping him understand shapes too. Highly recommend, hours of entertainment!
Baby's Toy
I have ordered this toy for my 15 months old baby. And I just realised that she is a bit younger to play this toy. The product is simple and nice. The quality is fair enough. But the size of box is very small it should be a big box in such price.
Simple, no frills toy! Odd shapes though!
Love wooden toys and this one is pure and simple. Good quality, lovely vibrant coloured blocks and toddler enjoys playing with it and stacking the shape blocks too, however some of the shapes are a bit obscure when trying to teach a toddler their shapes! I don’t think my two year old will remember what a trapezoid or octagon is!
Good enough quality, but design doesn't work for us
It seems decent quality and having had it for a year now with a fair amount of chewing of shapes, it has stood up to use quite well (haven’t noticed the paint issue). The only downside for me is the design. My child is only just starting to use it properly (18 months) but one of the first things he discovered was how to remove the sliding top. All this means is that when he’s getting frustrated with it he just removes the lid and puts then straight in, bypassing the activity altogether… I would probably buy a different design if buying again, though this might be down to age/personality.
Great toy. Good gift idea.
Great toy. My toddler loves it and it will continue to grow with her as she learns colours, counting and shapes. A few of the shapes were slightly stuck together when it arrived and ai had to pull them apart leading to some damage to the paint on some pieces.
Fun developmental toy
Great for colours, shapes, agility and problem solving. My daughters 13mths so not at the recommended age but she loves it already. The plywood box frame doesn’t feel the best quality with some indentation flaws in the wood, but fine for now.
Will be a favourite for a long time!
Really lovely toy. I got for my son at 12 months. Obviously it was too difficult to match the shapes, but he loves putting them in and taking them out of the big hole at the top. Now at nearly 14 months, he can put the shapes in if I point to the right one. Will be a good learning tool for many more months, even years. The colours are vibrant and it feels well made and durable.
Good Quality Shape Sorte
I purchased this for my 17 month old back in May and it has been a massive hit since it arrived! A month later and he has learnt which shapes go where and it is definitely one of his favourite toys. There is a lot of potential with the toy as it helps to teach motor skills, shape sorting, colours and counting. It is also very well made with safe rounded edges, I’d definitely recommend this toy to anyone looking for a good quality shape sorte
Had to make adjustments, now works perfectly
Great toy to keep my 1yr old occupied.
I noticed the tabs on the rings holding the balls in place made it difficult for the balls to fall when hit with the hammer. Even as an adult, I was having to use full force to hammer the balls through because they kept popping back up.
In the end I trimmed down the tabs and the balls now fall with 2 light hits. Alternatively if you don’t want your toddler using the hammer then remove the ring altogether and let the balls fall when placed in the hole.
Interesting item for 18 month old
We got this for our 18 month old who is at the right stage for shape-sorting. This item does get quite a lot of attention from him but the shapes are much too advanced and he requires considerable assistance. That’s said, he still enjoys it and we often help him with it. An issue is that the removable panel doesn’t stay in place very well at all
Please
Got this for my little ones first birthday. He cant put the blocks in on his own but with some help he cam manage it. He loves taking them out, taking the top off and popping them back in. Its quite sturdy as its been thrown around a lot! Pleased with the produc
I was super excited for this toy even though I did read the comments and saw few pictures that should changed my mind from ordering but I ordered it anyways.
I bought this as a birthday present for my baby boy, he didn’t play with it with the hammer as he is too young to understand how it works but he pushes the balls with his hands and yet it couldn’t last for even half a day 🙁 the wood is actually good quality but if you’re thinking of buying this product maybe you should order a gorilla glue with it as well because nothing a glue can’t fix
An update : I changed my rating from 2 starts to 4 starts because my baby actually loves it. He plays with this toy all the time not a day goes by when he doesn’t play with it. I honestly think it’s worth the price and its a good quality because he pangs it, stand on, use it as a seat and torture this toy yet it’s still not broken and I couldn’t be happier.
Lovely fun problem solving toy
I bought this for my 20 month old child and he loves it. As toys go, it’s comfortable enough for him to lift, and present to me to open up for him to play with. It rolls over easily so he can turn it around to find the corresponding holes. He’s learning quickly which shapes go into which holes and it’s bright and colourful and fun. I’ve nkt noticed any problems with the paint or finish quality. My only comment for improving it, is the stopper in the top. It’s plastic and needs an adult to open or close it by forcing it on. This lid stopper piece also has a semi circle hole which is for one of the shapes. I actually think this is superfluous, my son doesn’t quite appreciate that it’s part of the design and gets quite frustrated when I put the stopper back on to allow him to put the shape in. It doesn’t really fit with the rest of the design in that regard, so he’s confused where the last piece goes. His logic makes sense. Either put the final hole at the bottom in the wood, or don’t hsbe it at all.
I bought this for my son’s first birthday. He enjoys playing with it. I find the quality fine despite what some may have said in their reviews. There are no chips to the wooden box of blocks and all blocks have a good even coat of paint on them. The blocks fit well through the holes they’re supposed to. The lid does slide in and out easily. Some people have noted this as a criticism but I find it good as my son would struggle with a stiff lid. I’ve never seen it bother him that it’s so easy to remove. If the blocks fall out… sure, more fun putting them back!
Anyhoo… I like this and thought it was good value. The one I have has no problems and on that basis I’d recommend it.
Good toy for baby to experiment with
Got this for our baby’s 1yr old birthday. He really loved it and loved putting all sorts of other toys in it to experiment with. So he is learning about physics. He tried putting them in from the top, from the side, tilting it, etc. Initially he was just pushing the balls in with his hands, but 1month later he finally learnt to use the hammer, and really enjoyed that. Now he’s also experimenting with different tools as hammer.
Also he is drawn to the loud noises of balls going down it, hence it is a good toy to use to distract him with when he is up to no good.
The toy however does have some rough edges. The round holes are not properly sanded off, so maybe not very suitable for delicate babies. My baby liked putting his hand inside the holes, and got scratched a few times. However he didn’t seem bothered by that.
our best buy so fa
This is probably the best toy we’ve ever bought for our son. He’s 14 months but has been playing with this for about 6 weeks now. It’s the only toy that really holds his attention for a long time while keeping him active. It’s difficult enough for him to keep him engaged without being so difficult that he gets frustrated. I can happily head for the shower and hear the reassuring ‘clack clack clack’ the whole time I’m gone, knowing he’s happily playing away. Our best buy. And great that it doesn’t take up a huge amount of space. Would love if I could get some spare balls though cos they are always disappearing under things and we can’t find them.
Traditional toy to encourage developmental skills
I actually bought this as a present for a friends son, but I have similar M&D products for my own child. This toy takes children through a numer of developmental skills, (I believe), from picking up different shaped objects, placing them on the pegs, sorting by colour/shape…. I am told my friend’s son loves the toy!
The only tiny complaint i have is that the wood appears to be a soft wood, which my daughter has managed to chew through (teething) and some of her pieces (in the shape sorting cube) have splintered and been taken away for now. Having said this, it wouldnt prevent me buying more M&D products.
Good old fashioned wooden toys – I do not think you can beat them, splinters and all…
Shape Sorting Cube - a gift for my Grandson's 1st birthday
I would highly recommend the Shape Sorting Cube toy as a good quality toy. I purchased it as a gift for my grandson’s first birthday, the toy was a bit too advanced for him but that didn’t stop him playing with the coloured shapes… I think that once he understands that the coloured shapes fit into the coordinating holes this toy will be played with all the time (incidentally, his older brother who is almost 3 understood what he had to do with the shapes and he really loved the toy. Lots of lovely bright colours and no nasty sharp corners. I was very pleased with my choice and also very pleased with the price which was much, much cheaper than the RRP of this toy. Thank you.
