My 14 month old loves it
My 14 month old loves it and so do i because it's educational. He is at the stage where he loves putting the lids on things, and things on things, wish i had bought this sooner.
Beware, this bleeds
Maybe it's non-toxic but after a half hour of our toddler playing with this - although he enjoyed it - his hands were red and there were red stains on his t-shirt. So its in the garbage now. Is it non-toxic I don't know, though if toy makers used toxic paints for years and lied about them, there's little reason to believe a label that boldly says non-toxic. How many pieces of clothing out there with Gucci labels are not made by Gucci?
Keeps my 21-month-old occupied for long periods
My 21-month-old son loves this stacker, and it keeps him occupied for long periods of time, so I can cook dinner or clean up. He has gone (in a few weeks) from dumping all the shapes and randomly stacking them back on, to being able to stack the round and hexagonal shapes together in the proper order. He still can't fit the square "jigsaw" pieces together in pairs, but I think it's just a matter of time. He also has one of the classic plastic ring pyramid stackers (I think Fisher Price?) which he enjoyed a lot when younger, but it didn't hold his interest like this does now.
As far as durability and safety: I have no complaints about the manufacturing - it seems very high quality and I expect it will last a long time though we haven't had it long (a few months?) We keep it on the coffee table or another low table (my son stands or sits in front of it) so I don't worry about him falling on the poles, though admittedly this was also a concern of mine with the simpler plastic stacker, since he tended to play with that more on the floor, where it could be a hazard.
One minor complaint (though this is more about my son's usage rather than the toy's fault): he has decided the top round shape is a "ball" and tries to throw it, so it is now "lost" since our floors and furniture can't withstand hard wooden balls being thrown around.
I love this toy!
I purchased this for my 6 month old. Hes a little young so I keep the smaller blocks and the base away from him to keep from injury. But its great to watch him grab each piece from the stack and try to put it back.
Must attend children playing with this
To begin playing, take the blocks off the poles. At first I was worried she would fall over and hurt herself on these exposed poles. Next, the poles fell off, which then exposes this clear glue which my child wants to chew on.
Just like the sorting cube I bought with this, the colored paint chips off. The square is 2 shapes which fit to be a square. Seems like a good advanced concept, but mostly concerned of the sharp edges. So those were put away.
I should have bought one of the plastic versions of this. The paint would not have chipped off. And maybe the poles would have been attached to the base rather than adhered with toxic glue.
