Green Toys Shape Sorter for 6 months +, Green/Blue

I actually bought this one on sale just to go in the living room toybox for when company comes over with little ones. These Green Toys are absolutely the best, hands down! What's not to love? The minute you recieve one you relize the substantial and durable quality of them. They are easy to clean and I literally can not fathom any saftey hazards whatsoever with these toys (other than if the are used as a projectile, but that is the case with most toys that are not fabric, so obviously if there is a baby in the bunch with some older toddlers or so, you should still have your eyes on the kids). I love that they are all dishwasher safe for sterilizing. We have decided to keep all the Green Toys in a toy box in our main livingroom for 2 reasons. When we have company with children or playmates visiting, they can all just dive into these toys and we don't have the aggravation of my grandson's other toys being dragged out with multiple pieces, and those are not all small child safe, and we can not just throw them in the dishwasher afterwards as we can these. These are literally worry free toys when children are visiting (other than the aforementioned throwing, or maybe banging over the head, so yes you still must parent as we should be anyway). Second, after dinner, when there is just a small window of time for bath and playtime before bed, these are hassle free and the only toys we let him drag out because they are simple and easy pickup. BONUS, they are MADE IN THE USA, and of completely recycled materials. I have not seen that many quality toys like these other than ones made in the 1940's or so, where good craftsmanship (as these are) mattered, even in a toy. We have at least 2 dozen of these toys and they have become an awesome gift item especially when they go on sale, which is often. They are literally the PERFECT toys!

Love this sorter. Has 4 different shapes. Very well made. Would order it for future gifts

So many good things to say- Good quality, bpa free, made in USA, etc. I like this company and their products. I bought more toys from them!

I bought this for the church nursery. They can be a little hard on things or get bored. Both problems were solved with this toy

I really wanted to love this toy! I bought it myself for baby’ First Christmas. We received two other sorters as gifts. I didn’t even take the others out of their packaging until weeks after Christmas. This one is harder for a young baby to play with. The shapes are along the edges of the saucer so it can be hard to put in two pieces in a row. Also, the saucer shape of the toy makes it tip when trying to put a piece in. I think this toy will be better with an older baby/toddler that can stabilize the toy and is more coordinated when putting the pieces in. It will also be easier for an older child to take apart the saucer and put it back together. For a younger baby (6-month-olds to ??), it is a little too hard. We have not gotten to a good age for this toy, so I don’t know when we will be able to use it more. If you are buying for an older baby/toddler it is a solid toy made from recycled materials here in the USA. I do like that there are two of each shape. We use the shapes with the Fisher Price shapes to build towers. My baby has gotten more use from the Fisher Price My First Blocks, but I am holding out hope that this one will be used when baby is older.Update: every child is different, but mine was able to start really playing with this between 12 and 16 months. By that I mean that she started putting shapes into the correct openings, but she still needs help sometimes to stabilize it. She started putting the two pieces of the space ship together, but not twisting them shut. When she was younger she would carry it around and shake it to make sound. We then started putting the two side of the space ship on the floor like a puzzle.Edit: I don’t remember the exact age my child was able to use this as intended but it was somewhere around 18 months. She is able to steady it with one hand and put the pieces in with the other. She is also able to open and close it. I am going to give it another star. If it worked for the advertised age range, I would give it 5 stars. If you are getting this for an older child, it is a nice toy.

This toy had grown with my grandson, who is now 2. Helped him with colors, shapes & coordination. Now we play a challenge to see how fast he finds the shapes & puts them in the proper places

I, and my 8 month old daughter, love this toy. It is well-made, and is from recycled materials. It's made in America, is non-toxic and PVC, phthalate, and BPA-free. Those things alone sold me, but it is also very sturdy, has cute colors, and the pieces have a nice, smooth feel to them. Right now, she just likes to shake it around and chew on the pieces, but I will definitely be buying more toys from this company. Great product that you can really feel good about. We also have one of the teethers, and it's wonderful too. These toys are worth the few extra dollars, for sure.

This is my 3rd shape sorter. The first one made by Tupperware was the same design I had as a kid. It broke very soon after I purchased it, when the internal band gave away. The second one made by Fisher Price was just not a good design. The top was too easy to take off and my daughter would just open it rather than sort the shapes.The Green Toys sorter is great for several reasons. The first is, it isn't easy for a toddler to remove the lid. In order to take the top off you have to twist and then pull up while holding the bottom. This thing is also super sturdy; the plastic is the strongest of any toy I've purchased. The second is that it's made in the USA, which means I don't have to wonder if there's lead in the paint. Which is a concern I have, because my daughter puts everything in her mouth and for some reason sorting shapes are her favorite things to chew on. The last thing I love is that the plastic is made from 100% recycled milk bottles, so I can feel good about not creating more waste.

It was dirty when it arrived so I advise to clean before letting child play with it (as you should with all toys)Exactly as described. My baby likes it and I think it will help with learning shapes.

Gorgeous toy that my niece loves. Good for the planet and good for little ones!

wir nuten es bereis seit unser zwerg 5 Monate ist....zwar noch nicht zum sortieren aber es wir schon jetzt geliebt

Tutti i giocattoli Green Toys hanno le certificazioni standard EN71 e ISO 8124, e sono ecosostenibili.Sono realizzati dal reciclo dei contenitori di plastica del latte, sono in polietilene ad alta densità che è un tipo di plastica adatto anche al contatto con gli alimenti, e sono privi di BPA, ftalati, PVC o rivestimenti esterni. I giocattoli sono poi confezionati in scatole di cartone ondulato riciclato senza cellophane, e gli inchiostri utilizzati per la stampa sono di origine vegetale.Questo giocattolo, nello specifico, è composto da due semisfere, ciascuna della quale ha quattro fessure sagomate (a forma di stella, di cerchio, quadrato e triangolo), e da otto formine colorate (due stelle, due cerchi, due quadrati e due triangoli) che sono della dimensione e peso adatti per i bambini dai 6 mesi in sù.Ho scelto questo gioco, tra i tantissimi simili disponibili sul mercato, non soltanto perché eco-friendly, ma anche perché diverso dai soliti giochi a incastro di forma cubica.Innanzitutto, la forma sferica rende il gioco abbastanza difficile, perché deve essere tenuto fermo quando si cerca di infilarci dentro una formina. Se però si utilizza una semisfera soltanto, ecco che subito il gioco si fa più facile e adatto ai bambini più piccoli!Inoltre, le due semisfere per essere aperte devono essere leggermente svitate. Questo movimento è ancora difficile per nostra figlia, che deve così sforzarsi di infilare le formine nelle corrette fessure, piuttosto che aprire semplicemente il coperchio del contenitore per mettercele dentro.A nostra figlia piace poi usare una sola semisfera, riempirla con tutte le formine, e poi agitarla forte per vedere i vari pezzi colorati saltare via da tutte le parti - per somma gioia della madre :)

J'ai découvert cette marque il y a peu de temps et j'adore leur produit. Ils sont très résistantes et mon fils de 8 mois adore jouer avec. Il a également le sous-marin pour le bain et la tour. Je recommande fortement ce produit!
