Author: Guest My 1 year old son has never been one to play with toys. He'd rather play with the tv controller or the cordless phone. But a couple weeks ago we bought him this and he LOVES it. He's played with it more than he has ever played with any toy. He loves to put the blocks in and dump them out. He also likes to stick his head in the empty bucket and make noise! I've taught him to put the blocks through the shape sorter. This is great toy.
Author: Guest My Nephew received this block sorter. Very few toys can claim to pass the tests of being interesting and educational throughout such a long span in the baby-into-toddler period.
The block sorter itself is a tub about the size of a half-gallon milk jug. The sorter lid sits atop the tub; it fits securely but doesn't lock down with any tabs or snaps that would frustrate a child. On the flip side, this means that turning it over dumps the blocks everywhere, although that's a primary means of enjoyment for our two-year-old now!
The set comes with about a dozen blocks in assorted colors (red, blue and green) and shapes (circle, square, triangle and star). All of the pieces are solidly constructed for lots of use. The blocks are sized appropriately to be easily grasped by baby hands without being so small as to present a choking hazard.
The baby/infant/toddler toy market is flooded with battery-operated, hyperactive button-pressing sound machines disguised as "learning" toys. It's great to find one such as this that takes a comparatively simple concept and pays big dividends in fun and learning. Its low price and quality construction make Baby's First Blocks an excellent value as well.
I Normally Say "put the block in the tub" or "put the car in here" and he does and he loves his blocks cause he can chew and thorw them at the floor and "dump" them all out and make me clean them up!
Over all its a great toy for any age infant/toddler!
Author: Guest We purchased this toy for our son when he was about 6 months old and he has played with it ever since. He loves to dump the blocks out of the bucket and put them back in again. He also likes banging them together. This is one of his favorite toys...and one of ours too because there is no annoying music!
Author: Guest My daughter's 2 1/2 years old now and still has fun sorting the blocks into shape, color, and "group" categories. I think this toy was a great aid in helping her understand these fundamentals.
Author: Guest i have a 6 month old and he likes this toy. its your basic shape sorter toy that has been around for a long time.
