Advantages: multi sensory experience

Disadvantages: easy to post wrong shapes through holes

My son was given this for christmas and from when he was about 4/5 months he liked to hold/suck the shapes. And now he is starting to try and post the shapes in the right hole.

This product is a good size padded fabric cube with a velcro fastened 'door' to get the shapes out, 4 sides with shaped holes in, each sideis a different colour and design, and each shape matches the relevent colour/design. Each shape that can be posted also has a different sensory experience in addition to the colours/patterns - 2 rattle, one has a squeaker and one has that crunchy noise.

As I said previously initially it was only the shapes that were of interest to him (as would be appropriate to his age at that time) as he could hold them, wave them around and of course eat them!!! As he has been gaining more experience of the world he then moved to getting the shapes in/out of the cube through the door and is now trying to post the shapes through the right hole!!

One disadvantage to this product being fabric and soft is that is fairly easy to put the wrong shape through the wong hole.

Summary: multi sensory experience, nice first shape sorter
