Melissa & DougStack and Sort Board - Wooden Educational Toy for age 2+ years With 15 Solid Wood Pieces

My baby boy absolutely loves this set from Melissa and Doug- he is learning shapes, colors, counting, and grouping all from playing with this set- and the price is unbeatable! I highly recommend this set if you have a toddler who is eager to learn, and even more eager to play and have fun!

I did not expect this toy to keep my 17 month olds attention the way it has. He has so much fun stacking and unstacking and picking out the colors.

Keeps my sons attention for a while

This is a high quality toy, the kind you can keep and let your grandchildren play with 35 years from now. This is beautifully classic and made of wood. You can use it as intended: a sorting toy. A very young child, as young as 18 months (or younger) in my opinion, can play with this and start learning about colors, shapes, placing the pieces in the pegs, building a little wood tower and so on. There are many possibilities when using a toy like this one and it is therefore very educational.My children do not play with this toy every day. Like many of these classics they are sometimes put away and forgotten for a time. But then you bring them out of their corner (where they look very attractive if arranged properly) and the kids can have a lovely time with them. I find usually I have to engage the children: ask to find the pentagon and look, doesn't it look like a red house? Do you remember? Fire trucks are red too. And so on. It is a good bonding experience. The kids usually keep on playing with this for a few minutes, giving mommy some time to take idyllic pictures for social media of little angels actually playing with wood toys until it's time to put it away (they start throwing pieces or no longer behaving like angels). Keeping it real lol.We have had this for two years. I posted a picture I took right before I wrote this. It looks new!The problems with this toy are those you would have with anything made of wood: it is noisy in hardwood floors, and can hurt you or your windows if a child throws one of these pieces. However, you should be fine with supervision.

Nice vibrant colors, sturdy, big enough to not choke on but not so big they don’t fit in toddler hands. I got it for my 12 month old. It says 2+ but I can’t see any reason it wouldn’t be good for a 1 year old.Good toy to grow with him. Just sliding them on the legs now but later colors, shapes, counting too.Only complaint is the bottom is thin and curved so it knocks over sometimes but not often enough to actually be an issue.

Love this toy for my son. He is autistic non-verbal. He loves stacking and this is a great to to show him shapes and colors! The poles are also colored so makes it easy for him to recognize!

Some of the pieces were stuck together and when I got them apart they paint was chipped.

Si tienes un niño pequeño lo recomiendo mucho, el juego es práctico, mi niña de 2 años va colocando las piezas según los colores, ya reconoce las formas, ahora vamos a aprender los números y a contar.El material al ser de madera es bien duradero y permite eliminar tiempo de pantalla.
