Our Editorial Review
Product Description The ultimate shape sorter! Features 12 chunky, vibrant shapes that make a satisfying "clink" as they drop into the hardwood cube! Then open the lid, take them out, and start all over again! (Note: The lid on this item is made not to be snug. This is designed to make it easier for kids to get the pieces from the inside.)
Customer Reviews
loose lid Posted 25 June 2007
I love the colors of the blocks and the unique shapes. My son plays with the toy occasionally but only because he is still a bit too young (14 months old) to appreciate the shape sorting. I do wish the lid was attachable and I actually put strips of velcro on it to keep it in place as my son turns it upside down.
Surprised by poor reviews Posted 16 April 2007
I bought this shape sorter for my son this past August when he was almost 2 1/2. He's been using it now for around 8 months and we've had none of the problems mentioned on the other reviews. Our lid is sturdy, doesn't fall off under regular use (unless you tip the box), no paint has come off the shapes, and only the correct shapes fit in the holes. Someone said any shape fit into any hole, which I can't understand unless they have a totally different product. I guess M&D may have had a run of defective products recently or maybe decided to make them cheaper since I bought it, but I just wanted to add a positive review here because ours is great and has held up well to lots of use over the past 8 months.
Wood is better than plastic, but... Posted 12 January 2007
I was thrilled to find this Wooden Shape Sorting Cube so it could replace our plastic one. When it came, however, I immediately thought of putting hinges and a snap or closure device on the cover so that we couldn't misplace the top and so that kids could use the top shape sorting panel just as easily as the other sides and that it would remain one whole block. Within the first week my two year old split the cover - it is too week with the shapes cut out of a single unsupported piece. We suspect he either hit it with his toy hammer or steped on it. We're going to have to gorilla glue it so he can play with it again. Conceptually it is wonderful - an oldie but a goodie! Structurally, it could use some work.

Great for developmental play for the early toddler and preschooler, however, the cube does not close so peices are constantly falling out and getting lost.
