 questionable quality... but Educo offered to replace! Aug 25, 2011
By eau
Yes, it's a wonderful concept, and could have been executed beautifully. You would expect so, for the price.
However, the painted plywood is full of jagged edges and splinters. The kind of care that goes into a PlanToy or other wooden toys that parents shelling out this kind of money for non-plastic have grown accustomed to, sadly, is absent in this toy. I don't know if this has always been the case, or if they've recently chosen a cheaper manufacturer who isn't executing to Educo's standards, but it's certainly the case with the toy I just received.

 Love this Shape Sorter! Jan 22, 2011
By Jessalyn Hutto
The Educo Shake `n Match Shape Sorter is perfect in so many ways. It is made of high quality materials and is the perfect size for small hands.
The problem I have with most sorters is that they have removable lids that my genius child likes to... remove and then easily put the different shapes in a big gaping hole rather than using the actual cut outs. This sorter is different and might I just add genius. The opening for you to remove the different shapes is blocked by an elastic band that easily moves to the side when you want to get the shapes through it, but stays sturdily in place with you want them to stay in.
Another thing I love about this sorter is that the shapes are color coordinated so that the circle shape matches the circle cutout. This aids my little guy in matching them up and gives you the opportunity to teach colors as well as shapes.
Each shape is filled with little beads that jingle when you shake them and make the "toy" that much greater.
Did I mention it is made of wood? That is always a big plus in my book!
All in all, I am give this shape sorter 5 STARS because my little boys love it! Elliot enjoys the challenge of fitting all the shapes in the sorter and Hudson loves the rattle it gives when he rolls it!
This product is made by a company called Hape which I am quickly falling in love with. All their toys are educational and beautiful! They might just take the place of Melissa and Doug in my heart... might... I will let you know.

my child loves it. Dec 17, 2009
By Baby Crazy
"Anne Marie"
an amazing shape shorter toy. it's beautiful. it's well built and lightweight (so it's easy for little ones to pick up). it's fun. i am very pleased with this toy. the colors are vibrant and chip proof. i also love how the blocks have beads in them and make noise. my son is 11months so he hasn't mastered putting the shapes in the holes yet but he does play with this toy every single day for at least 30mins. he likes pulling them out and putting them back in the same way. i find other toys stuffed inside as well. he enjoys shaking the blocks.

 Very Sturdy and Fun Jul 07, 2011
By K.A.S.
"Sass"
We got this for my 15 month old son and he loves it! I wanted a really nice wooden shape sorter that would keep his attention and this one did the trick. He loves the shapes and that they make nose. he loves to try to fit them into their holes. Its also a very sturdy toy. I've caught him using it as a stepping stool to reach things on the table! And its not enormously huge either which is always a plus :)

Potentially Frustrating, But Definitely the Best Jun 01, 2011
By H. Harvey
"lottielottie"
This shape sorter is the only wooden non-toxic version that doesn't have an easily removed lid. At first our 11-month son was frustrated because getting the pieces out of the side takes some dexterity, but that in itself turned into a learning experience. He loves to shake the toys and so far they have remained impervious to much banging and sliding. I do find the other wooden shape sorters more attractive, but in the end this one offers more educational opportunities.
