Reviews of TUPPERWARE Shape O Ball Toy

Customer Ratings:

The Tupperware shape sorter is the best baby sorting toy out there. We live abroad now, but I picked up 4 of them to bring back to Europe.

The reasons, why it is so great: 1.) Form and function are above all other similar sorting toys. 2.) It is plastic and easy to lift and clean (A lot of parents prefer wood. But often the wood sorters are simply too heavy and bulky to be handled by little toddlers) 3.) It is formed like a facetted ball. That makes it easy for baby to turn it around and get seriously involved by looking for the right hole by themselves. 4.)The cut out holes and the shapes are very precise. Only *1* shape fits into *1* correct hole. Many other shape sorters even more expensive ones allow for wiggling forms into wrong holes 5.) It is a mental challenge because some of the shapes are really hard to discern 6.) It is no "loose pieces nuisance" like so many other toys because: when you are finished, all pieces are automatically back inside. 7.) Keeps baby busy for about 10 minutes

For ages 9 months and up.

In short: One of the best!!

I had one of these when I was a kid, so it was largely nostalgia that prompted me to buy one for my son; as it turns out though, it's a really nice toy. It's very nice and light, so if it gets thrown, it's not going to break anything; it has quite a few pieces for your child's shape sorting enjoyment; all the pieces store inside the ball when not being played with; when the ball is full of pieces it makes a satisfying rattling noise that my son really likes; it's visually appealing; it's quite durable. The only think I don't like about it, is that the halves of the ball are rather hard to pull apart, my kids (3.5 years and 18 months)both need help with this, which rather defeats the purpose of a play-alone toy. Still, once I dump out the pieces for them, they really like putting them all back again. One thing I especially like about this shape sorter is that it has several shapes, and a few of them are similar, which means that it's genuinely challenging, and even a young pre-schooler who is learning shapes, can have fun with this toy. It's not just for babies.

The yellow handles pull apart to get at the shapes inside. I gave it as a gift, and the first time we pulled it apart to get the shapes out, the cord that hooks the two sides together came off the hook, so for all intents and purposes it is broken, as we do not have a tool for reconnecting the cord. 40 Years ago when my son was a child every mom I knew had one of these for their kids. I never knew of one breaking before. I don't know if it is made differently now, or what. But, it used to be a great toy -40 years ago.

Isn't that the main factor here? She's 2 (August 5, 2009) and loves to play with it. She has me get the shapes out as she has trouble with that, so we can play with it together, which to me is a huge bonus. She's quickly learning her shapes and colors. The item seems quite durable. I paid a little bit more in buying it from a Tupperware guy, charging about $10 more than you can get it for on Amazon. But he's a nice guy, and I am supporting a local business, so, it's all good. Amazon is getting a lot of grief for its sales tax policies now, too! Let's resist the WalMarts, Sam's Clubs, and so on! Buy local. The Walton family is already obscenely wealthy.
