 Love it from 7 months on! December 7, 2006
DaDa (Memphis, TN USA)
Our son got this toy at around 7 months and loved pushing in the shapes after we set them up. His interest continued and he later began hammering the shapes and then matching them to the holes by himself. The lights and sounds are a fun addition! This is one of the few simple toys that he has enjoyed for so many months.

I bought this toy for my 10 month old son thinking it would be fun with the different shapes and music. I usually sit and play with him cause he is too small to put the pieces in the right place, however, one day when I was not playing with him he grabbed the toy which was open and it closed on his finger. Luckily it did no long term damage but very disappointing especially with a product from Little Tikes. I think it's a fun toy just be sure to not leave it where your child can play with it without supervision.

We bought this toy for my son's first birthday. To begin with he just loved to have us place the shapes in the holes and then push them in the rest of the way. At about 18 months he started putting the shapes in himself.
While it doesn't provide hours of entertainment, he has continually gone back to this toy over the past 10 months and I expect that he will have fun with it for a while.
He also likes to carry around some of his other toys in it. I think he sees it kind of like dad's briefcase.
As for downsides on the toy, I can see the potential for pinched fingers. We've never had that problem with this toy. Our son has always been conscious of his little fingers, but I know most kids are not. Also, he has difficulty opening the case once it's been closed.

The box snaps shut with some force quite easily; today, my one year old closed the box and got pinched badly enough to get a dark and clearly very painful bruise.
Additionally, it's only fun if you start the shape for the child, since they (and my son is strong) find it very hard to get the shape past the sound-activation button, which pretty much kills the learning aspect.
The lights are nice, but not really very noticable when actually playing with the toy, and the sounds are just okay.
The best thing about the toy is the hammer, but there are plenty of hammer toys out there.
I initially put the toy away thinking I'd bring it out again when he gets a bit older, but I think I'm actually just going to get rid of it.
This is a hit at our house. January 4, 2005

I have 3 boys ages 4.5, 3 and 1 - all of them play with this toy. I like that all the pieces can be stored inside the tool box. The button inside where you place the shapes is great, because with younger kids you can get the shape started and the button holds it until the child pushes it through. My 1 year old loves the lights and the sound isn't annoying for parents :)
