 fun toy May 29, 2003

My son started playing with this toy at seven months old and really loves it. I had to help put the shapes into their places but he understood right away to push the shapes through to make a noise and can easily move the inside piece back and forth. Like any toy with pieces I often have to search for the scattered blocks and put them back in. I also use this toy when traveling and add other bloks to the case. He loves to open and close the case and dump all the blocks.I will note that my son is a large boy and is fairly strong for his age. He didn't have any problem lifting or handling the case at all.
 Interactive play for your little one February 20, 2003

My son has just starting playing with this at six months and seems to really like it. We lay the box on the floor in front of him, place the pieces into their proper spot, hand him the hammer and let him bang away. With each piece that falls through music and lights are triggered. He watches in amazement every time.
I love that this toy is interactive and teaches cause and effect. All the pieces pack up neatly into the tool box for easy carrying and storage.
The reason I only gave 3 stars for fun is because the pieces don't fit into their appropriate spots well. Each space is fitted with a button that causes the lights and sounds and that button can cause the pieces to lay sideways making it hard for baby to pound them through. If they could fix that, this toy would get perfect ratings from me.
Fun shape sorter with a manly toolbox slant November 13, 2002

When my son received this for his first birthday recently, he took to it immediately, which is not a normal thing for him. It's got fun shapes, sounds, lights, and a cool middle part that moves to either side of the open toolbox, and he just can't get enough of it. There's also the added amusement of watching him carry it around like a mini-handyman. :-)As each shape is hammered or shoved through the appropriate hole, a small button is pressed that plays a short tune to go with the flashing lights from the center section. Each of the shapes plays a different tune, so it's not nearly as annoying as it might be otherwise. WARNING: The middle piece is a bit heavy, and it seems that little fingers could get caught in the edges when it falls to either side, especially when it's being fought over. One big plus: this toy is easily transportable, as all the pieces (shapes and hammer) fit inside the toolbox and it snaps closed. It doesn't fall open; in fact, it can be a bit difficult for little ones to open... but that makes it even better for traveling!
