Montessori First Shape Puzzle

Bought this for a one-year old grandchild. It's a simple first puzzle for a little one. It was surprisingly well made, and the wood was nicely finished and smooth for little hands. Can definitely recommend.

I love wooden toys and this puzzle is no different. My LO loves to pick up the piece and bang, but has started attempted to match the shapes And colors now that he is getting older. People are always amazed at “how advanced” he is. I just think he’s developing on track because he’s given toys like this that stimulate his learning and problem solving as well as fine motor and eye hand coordination.

This is my seven month old baby’s favorite toy! She loves picking up the different colors and shapes and putting them back down or smacking them together. Someday she’ll probably care about which one goes where, but today is not that day. So affordable for a sturdy, entertaining toy!

The puzzles are well-made. If your child chews on them, the color doesn't come off. They stand up perfectly to being thrown hard on the floor. I bought these for my child who is autistic. It was helpful for doing exercises with his therapist. The fact that they are not one solid board gives you flexibility to change the order and positioning of the shapes to work on a child's "scanning" skills. Also, because the shapes are simple, he gets to experience more success completing a puzzle than with other puzzles, which is good if your child has problems with fine motor coordination.

Pluses Great learning/coordination puzzle! Wood is durable and will last for the next child Minuses Honestly - none! Cheaper is always better but you get what you pay for here. Final word - I love this! I had a circle puzzle for my 9 month old and she had it down! I wanted to get her a more advanced puzzle and this one is perfect! It has 3 puzzle pieces which is perfect to challenge a child her age. It also has different shapes and colors to assist with learning and language.

This could’ve been 5 stars easily except for the fact that the paint color rubs off and will stain. We really, really hope that the paint is safe for baby, especially those who are still putting things in their mouths. Pros: solid, polished, no splinters/sharp edges. Cons: paint comes off (eg. Red and yellow pieces will discolor your Lysol wipes and regular paper towels). We wouldn’t leave the baby to play alone with these.

This simple puzzle is a great help to teach your young child about shapes, colors, and improve their fine motor skills. The knobs make it accessible for children of all physical abilities. I'm pleased with the purchase.

My favorite part about this puzzle is that the pieces have just a smidgen of wiggle room once you insert it in its proper place. This means that a young toddler just starting out with puzzles is able to maneuver the shapes into their slots that much easier. The pieces themselves seem to be well designed and sturdy. Nothing broke or chipped after a few weeks of daily play and getting thrown around by kids. The handles are chunky enough for a little hand to hold. Also, no weird wood or paint smells from this product.

Product is good and delivery was very fast!

Very good for baby and toddler development

Bought for 1 year old. Bright colours and three different shapes. Gives the child a fun challenge as they learn.

My son has enjoyed this puzzle. I think it's good quality. He chews on it, throws it around and its still in one piece. When he smashes the pieces on the board sometimes the colour of the piece marks then natural wood. But thats fine, 1 year olds are pretty violent. I'm just happy nothing has chipped or broken.

This is. Simple and hands on puzzle for little ones to help them understand colours and shapes using their hands. My daughter loves it
