Little Tikes DiscoverSounds Shape, Sort and Scatter

My little cousins all have one and they each are obsessed with their fish bowl. It has three settings where the kids can learn and grow with their toy. It is fun and interactive. They love to fill it up just so they can press the button and see them scatter. For under one year old they can just put everything into the open top and it will count for you (1....2....) as you insert the pieces. When they get old enough to recognize shapes and colors you can change the setting to say red heart or blue square etc etc. then the third setting is timed so thats fun too. Great toy great price.

My daughter loved this toy so much I was willing to deal with the muffled speaker quality (sounds like it's under water), but the tray part wouldn't stay up after only a few weeks of playing with it. This could've been such a great toy! Wish I'd saved the packaging to return.

Overall, I'm pleased with the toy. It has three difficulty settings, so it is easy to begin and can be set for each child's learning level. The only fault I have found is one of the shapes (the purple octagon) is rather tight fitting, and it is slightly difficult to push into the bowl. Very happy with gap left upon release of the shapes to keep from pinching any little fingers.

Really cute idea but poor execution

We returned this toy once because we thought we got a dud of a toy when we heard the quality of the sound. There's a voice that speaks about the shapes and the game while your putting shapes in but it's so grainy and poor quality it's hard to understand her. Not sure why it sounds like that but it's very annoying and hard to listen to. When we got the second one, it was the same problem so I think it's just the toy. The only reason we kept it is b/c it's a cute shape sorter that's more unique than others I've seen but Little Tikes needs to work on the sound quality. Check out the shape sorter with hammer-that's a better one.

Probably the greatest toy for a 1-2 year old. My older child loves it too. We now give this gift for every child's first birthday party we attend.There are 3 levels of play so the younger children can just drop the pieces in the top or as they get better they can put them in the correct shapes. The second level tells them which shapes to put in, the third level is timed. Every child we show this toy to that is under the age of 8 loves it.

This is a very quality toy that my grandsons love. It just seems to grow with them. They like the variety of sounds and I like that it teaches them beginner counting. I also considered that it works for a variety of ages. I have used many similar items but this one is well worth the money. Shipping was very fast also.

I was looking forward to this toy but it arived defective!!! The yellow part doesn't move down or up so the shapes can't come out!!!!! I'll be returning this I am so mad!
