Melissa & Doug Counting Shape Stacker - Wooden Educational Toy With 55 Shapes and 10 Number Tiles

My 2 year old received this toy for her birthday. I love that it is teaching her so many concepts! Shapes, colors, counting, organizational skills, as well as coordination. She absolutely loves it, too!

I really like this item. My 5 year old son and 1 year old daughter have played with it. My son was able to learn the spellings of numbers and shapes and names of shapes new to him. My daughter learned to match by color and enhanced fine motor skills to place blocks on pegs. I would highly recommend this toy. Just be careful not to lose all the pieces because there is so many.

This is a great toy to help teach counting. It keeps my daughter's attention as we go and is repetitive enough without being boring due to the different shapes and colors.

This was a Christmas gift for a two year old. This is one of their favorite toys that they come back to over and over. The parents appreciated that this can be used several ways to learn shapes, numbers, colors, and start introducing simple math.

Unbelievably great!!! Offers many learning possibilities!!!

Withing day 1 of my son playing with this he could recognize every shape

Plan to use this in my classroom this fall. I think the students will enjoy it.

This was purchased as a gift for my boyfriend's nephew, for his second birthday. I was told he played with it nonstop for hours after opening it. So that's a plus. Other things I liked about this toy is how flexible it is as children develop. There are lots of exercises and opportunities for learning. It is a great size, the blocks are easy for a child to handle. This toy is a step up from the small version, and I think is very enriching overall. For the negatives: It would be great if the pegs were painted to match the colors of the blocks. This would help the younger ones. The pegs could be placed farther apart. It can be difficult to fit them on the pegs. There are 8 hexagons and 6 octagons; this gives me a little anxiety for a child's developing brain.

Good learning and fun, - utilizes many skills - counting, colors, shapes, addition, subtraction. Quite versatile. One of our granddaughter's favorites.
