Second time around Posted 5/27/2010 by Carilda Thomas
This is the second one I got for my grandson because the dog ate the first one just as he was starting to get the hang of shape sorting. He replays this frequently. The only issue I have is with the cover - it would have been better if there were some latch to hold the cover on; right now it slides off too easily.
Shape Sorting Cube Posted 6/17/2009
The construction of this toy is sturdy, and it is smooth and easy to get the shape blocks in and out. It arrived with the blocks positioned in the openings, and some of the paint from the blocks is smeared here, as if they were inserted with the paint still wet. It's just a few smears and isn't a problem, but I mention it because I ordered another Mellissa and Doug toy, and it also seemed to have been assembled before the paint was dry and it was a problem, because paint was flaking off. I will be returning this other toy because I don't want my daughter to but a toy with flaking paint into her mouth So, be careful.

This product is VERY good quality! My son is a little too yong to use it to it's full potential.(he's 1) but as he gets older he'll be able to learn a lot from this toy.
Review for Shape Sorting Cube Posted 8/24/2009 by Holly Cavanaugh
the shape sorting cube is great but I believe my son will enjoy it more in a few months, he is still too young (10 months). He is too busy learning to walk.

something solid inside will be better, instead of a paper box.

Good product. No complaints.
Birthday gift Posted 9/18/2008 by Andrea Alderman
The shape sorter is a very good product. I read another review about the lid falling off but this one does not. It actually stays on properly to the frustration of my son who is not yet old enough to get it off and on by himself. I think it will be a great toy for him to continue to use as he gets older.
My rating of Shape Sorting Cube Posted 8/19/2008 by Shani
the only thing that is a problem is that the cube is small enough that when you are getting to the last couple of shapes it is hard to put them in there because there is no room left because of how small the cube is. oh it would be nice if the top wouldn't slide of quite as easily.
Great Classic Posted 2/9/2012 by momof2
This is a great classic toy that is constructed well. We bought this toy for our second child who just had his 1st birthday because we wanted him to have something educational as well as different from what our first son already has. Even as a one year old he loves to try to figure out where the shapes fit or to even just have the lid off and stuff the blocks and other items into the box then dump it out and do it again!

My daughter is 13-months-old and she like this toy. She is still not very good with matching the right shapes but she also uses it as a box to put stuff in and she likes to play with the different pieces. It's a good way to teach her colors and shapes.

My son loves it! He enjoys putting the shapes in the appropriate spots.

Our 18 month old son loves this toy! It is well-constructed and challenging for him. I'm certain he will be interested in it for some time to come.
Review of Shape Sorting Cube Posted 3/6/2007 by Rebecca Birmingham
I like the variety of shapes that are included in this toy. It is quite a challenge, as our little darling is just 18 months old. He is able to fit some of the shapes. It will grow with him as he advances to the more difficult shapes.

Have always liked the Melissa and Doug line- very pleased with the quality of the toy.
Fun Cube, great quality, one small hiccup Posted 9/9/2011 by Bernardo Mainou
I bought this for our 6 month old kid. While he cannot figure out the shapes to the extent of putting them in the correct slot of the cube, he loves jiggling the cube, getting the pieces out and playing with them. He loves the colors of the pieces, and the construction of the set is very nice. The only downside is the piece on top that slides off the top of the cube to take the pieces out does not have a locking mechanism. So, the piece just slides off easily and the pieces come out.
Difficult shapes. Posted 9/7/2011 by Michelle Lebron
My 15 months old and 2 1/2 enjoy playing with this. It has really peculiar shapes, so it's a big more challenging for even at 2 1/2 year old. But, both my daughter enjoy trying to master it!
Product review of Shape Sorting Cube Posted 4/27/2011 by Yvette Smith
It's a great toy and I love that it's wood, but I think he's not quite ready for it yet at 9 months.
Awesome! Posted 3/29/2011 by Maura Maynard
My son is 23 months and he really enjoys this toy. IT's great for going over colors & shapes with him!
age appropriateness Posted 3/18/2011 by Carol - GRANDPARENT
Actually, my grandson doesn't play with it much because we've put it away until he's older. He is a very perceptive one year old with excellent dexterity. Nevertheless, the shape sorting is rather daunting even for adults who typically assume it to be simple.

the quality of the product is good, it appeals to both, parents and children

This is a great product for learing however it seems to be the last thing my kids pick off he shelfs.

My 1-year old needs help matching up the blocks to the right shape holes, but it is teaching her useful skills.
A rating of Shape Sorting Cube Posted 5/27/2009 by Rebecca
My son is 9 months and he loves to hear the shapes clink when he puts them in the box, but he is not yet putting the shapes through the cutout holes. I like the bright colors and the clean construction. This toy is well put together and I am glad that I bought it.
many shapes! Posted 7/7/2008 by Alexandra
we love that there are soooo many shapes to sort! however, my son is only 19 months and has trouble with the hexagon and octagon...sometimes it frustrates him that they are so similar, he just opens the top and throws them in!
Fun for years to come Posted 6/26/2008 by Cristin
We ordered this for our 10 month old daughter. Although she doesn't understand the concept of shapes yet she enjoys banging the wooden pieces together. The fact that this is a wooden toy means it will hold up for her to enjoy it for a few years.
Information about Shape Sorting Cube Posted 3/16/2008 by Susan - TEACHER
The shape sorting cube will be a great toy for my son when he outgrows the need to put everything in his mouth. He sucked on one piece for a while as he looked at the rest of the toy, and when I put that piece into the cube, the paint began rubbing off! We've put it away until he's old enough to understand he can't eat while he plays.
Shape Sorting Cube Posted 3/3/2008 by Richard Russell
The product functionally had exactly what I was looking for. A variety of different shapes that could be held, and manipulated into matching holes. I felt that this would, and it does seem to, offer the opportunity to sharpen shape differentiation, and naming, also exercising of fine motor skills. Drawbacks were minor, but expected of Chinese products: 1. The lid is poorly designed, the result is that it always falls off. However, this was easily remedied by putting thin strips of Velcro in the base of each notch and the corresponding mating surfaces of the lid. This affords enough grip to hold, but not so much that young hands can't pry off when needed to. 2. There is insufficient difference between the rectangle and the square. This seems more a design issue rather than one of cost. 3. The paint is not of good quality, as some is rubbing off in the first week of use. OVERALL: I recommend this product.
Shape Sorting Cube Review Posted 2/8/2008 by Chad Theriault
I thought this was a very good product as it includes many more types of shapes than other boxes of a similar purpose. One negative of this toy is that the 'lid' comes off very easily, resulting in the 'cubes' falling out or the child realizing that they can just stick the cubes in the large opening. Overall, though, if supervised, this is a good toy that provides education about shapes and their differences; particularly with the pentagon, hexagon, and octogon.
My rating of Shape Sorting Cube Posted 6/13/2007
I purchased this particular shape sorting cube primarily because I wanted to move away from plastics and was attracted to the large variety of shapes. The cube and shapes are well constructed, however the lid comes off too easily when the cube is tilted. Perhaps the cube is meant to be spun, rather than tilted? My 6 month old will likely appreciate a simpler version with fewer shapes that are located on one side to start.
This Is Fun! Posted 4/2/2007 by Janet Beuckelaere - OTHER
This is a wonderful, well-made toy. I wish that the side that allows the pieces to come out was attached somehow, although I don't know how that would be best accomplished.
My rating of Shape Sorting Cube Posted 2/16/2007 by Michelle
So far my almost two year old son can mostly figure out where each piece goes if we turn it to the correct side. I think it is a very educational toy. I recommend it highly.
Fun Toy Posted 1/30/2007 by Michele
I got this toy for my 2 year old. She likes it and has learned the names of less common shapes. My 12 month old also enjoys putting the lid on and off, tossing the shapes in the top, and dumping them out.
My rating of Shape Sorting Cube Posted 9/11/2006 by Rebecca
This a good toy, but the lid falls off when the cube is turned on it's side, which causes shapes to fall out. It would be better if the lid was hinged.
Great toy Posted 3/21/2006 by Lisa
Great toy, only problem is when it starts to get full, sometimes it was a bit hard to get the blocks in with all the other blocks in the way. Other than that, nice colors and great quality.
A rating of Shape Sorting Cube Posted 2/1/2006 by Robby Morehead
My 20 month-old twin boys love this toy so much I am considering purchasing another. I only wish the lid stayed on a little more securely.
Shape Sorting Cub Posted 6/22/2005 by Jennifer Coscia
We haven't had any time since we received the toy in the mail, but I did open it for my 2-year old and then my 5-year old said to him, "let's put the shapes where they belong". I thought that was interesting because most of the time, my 5-year old will shun any gifts my 2-year old receives. But I think initially, this toy was very well received and will be played with.
Nice product at a decent price Posted 8/26/2008 by Irene Terrazas
Nice toy. My baby is too young to use it to the fullest as yet. Some of the shapes are so similar that it is slightly challenging even for me. It will definitely challenge her when she's old enough to want to challenge herself. Design-wise, I think, I might have opted to put the different variations of the same shape on the same side. I feel this would help baby see more clearly and sooner that though the shapes are very similiar, they really are diffrent. (It would promote shape discrimination.)

Nicely constructed
Review of Shape Sorting Cube Posted 10/7/2012 by Nancy barrow - GRANDPARENT
Purchased this product a little "ahead of schedule" for my grandson. He and I enjoy this toy together. The solid wood, easy to hold shapes are teaching colors and dexterity. Shape sorting won't be far behind!
Fun for toddlers! Posted 8/30/2012 by LJ (Chicago)
Great item. My son spied this on the kitchen counter (didn't see me take it out of the shipping box) and pulled my husband over to get it for him so he could open it and start playing with it. He is a little boy, after all, and if unsupervised, will sometimes just throw the shapes instead of trying to put them back in the box. A couple of the pieces are already showing signs of relatively heavy wear and paint chipping after only a week, but since it is non-toxic, I am unconcerned.
Review for Shape Sorting Cube Posted 12/30/2012
Bought for my 18 month old and my mom gave her one very similar that was made of colorful plastic that rolls and the pieces fit like a puzzle and can pushed through that she likes better but this toy is well made and we will give it to another child
My rating of Shape Sorting Cube Posted 12/27/2012 by Rachel Schuldt
Very simple for my 21 month old to understand! Very cute!
Great toy!
