Ten bright blocks are ready for baby to drop into the open bucket or through the shape-sorting lid. Baby will love filling the bucket with blocks, dumping them out, then starting over again. Great for eye-hand coordination and other early skills. Then baby can move on to sorting and stacking and learning about identifying and matching shapes. Includes plastic shape-sorting box with take-anywhere handle and ten colorful blocks.

Summary: We returned it...baby was bored.
Comment: Originally I bought these as "first blocks" for our baby (6 mos old) but ended up returning them since they're not very fun and pretty pricey for how cheap they are. For younger babies who aren't sorting yet, I recommend getting "HABA First Blocks Set"First Blocks, a bit pricier, but very good quality (safe wood, NOT made in China). These are captivating blocks that are very imaginative. True, they don't have the sorting qualities like this toy might, but are visually stimulating and can be stacked and use to actually "build" things.

Summary: Hours of Fun!
Comment: My 11 month old son loves this toy. He plays with it for HOURS and HOURS. He loves to dump them, put them back in the container, throw them, etc. It keeps him occupied for hours. Great toy!!!

Summary: My baby loves these!!
Comment: This set of blocks was an impulse buy. My baby was beginning to sit up and I wanted something that would keep him occupied while he was practicing his new sitting skills. I also am trying to balance the singing/noisemaking toys with simpler toys.
For a 7 month old baby (he got them at 5 months) I love everything about these blocks, the bucket and the lid. They are colorful and catch his attention. They are lightweight so he can pick them up and manipulate them. His coordination is improving on a daily basis. Other reviews have mentioned that the lid doesn't stay on so, but I see this as a positive so that my baby can remove the lid himself and take out all the toys inside. Maybe as my child gets older and is able to use the sorter, I will be more concerned with this, but for now it doesn't present a problem.
I wasn't expecting this simple toy to hold his attention for very long, but this is the toy that he plays with for the longest period of time. He hasn't gotten bored with it at all. Well worth the cost, but cheaper elsewhere.

Summary: A good choice
Comment: This was given to my 15 month old for Christmas, and he likes it a lot. He can get some of the shapes in and is still working on figuring out the others. He is fascinated by putting other toys in the bucket, and taking them out, and putting them in, and so on. It seems very durable, and I appreciate the fact that it doesn't make annoying and useless noise like so many children's toys do. The reason I didn't give it quite five stars is because he enjoys it a lot but doesn't LOVE it.

Summary: Great fun!
Comment: Like most other young infants, our daughter prefers to pull the top off, dump the blocks out, and chew on everything. She's 8 mos now, so I figure in a few more months or so she might just start trying to figure it out. She loves it though...so we do too! I actually like the fact that the lid comes off so easily. If it didn't, she might not play with it at all yet. Afterall, what baby wants to play with something frustrating? :)
