A good buy, my 23 month old loves this one! I love it too, with the extension activities there is a lot or room to grow with this puzzle.

I think this is a very well made product. I thought my daughter would enjoy it more than she did. I think she may be a little old for it. She played with for 2 days then became bored with it. She was just over 3 when I ordered it. Perhaps a younger child would have more interest. Overall I love the product and the quality.

My little boy got this for his second birthday and has really enjoyed it in the month since. The pieces vary by shape, size, and color, so it is good for learning those things. It's not very difficult for him to assmeble, but he's found other fun ways of playing with it. (Like stacking the blocks and knocking them over.) A nice, wooden puzzle

Something no one else mentioned, which I was delighted to see when I got this toy, is that there are instructions on the back of the base which explain different ways to play with this toy with your child. I found these directions very helpful.

I am a Head Start teacher and the Melissa & Doug Shape Sequence Sorting Set

was donated (brand new) to our classroom community, we have 20 children aged 3 to 5 enrolled. I was excited when I set it out in our math area, because I love Melissa and Doug toys (they are inviting, durable, and they offer many levels of open ended play) and this did not disappoint me. This awesome learning toy is utilized every day by students of both genders and varying levels of development. Here are some of the ways I have observed my students playing with the Shape Sequence Sorting Set:

The way it was intended, as an open ended sequence puzzle that has more than one possible solution, this was how I introduced it and almost everyone tried it and eventually accomplished it. (Cool early math)

I have "caught" more advanced students quizzing younger students saying, hand me the tallest ones, the blue one, the triangle....etc. (Boy did I praise them for this and now it is a common occurrence in my classroom ... yay)!

Using the pieces without the board to stack a tower that stays up. (Great for improving spatial understanding)

Creating an impromptu dollhouse by using the blocks as furniture, and props from our block area (Dramatic play)!

All in all, this is a solid asset to help young children learn and discover many different academic concepts through play. It would be great addition to an early childhood program as well as to any home with a young child. I promise to update my review with more observations, as my brilliant class find new and fun ways to play!

Bonus: My class is notorious for losing pieces to puzzle like toys (I think it is almost unavoidable in a classroom setting) but we have had this for 4 months ....and we still have all the pieces!
