About this item
- Enter your model number to make sure this fits.
- Fine wooden shape sorter box with twisting lock door and screw detachable rotating wheel sorter. 10 pieces of wooden blocks in 5 shapes and colours
- It is much more fun than just a conventional wooden shape sorter. Apart from normal shape sorting without the rotating wheel, children can screw on and off the rotating wheel or just spinning it for fun; twist and turn the lock for opening and closing the door
- For shape sorting: all the shape slots in one end makes easier for children to compare the different shapes. Children can remove the rotating wheel first as a normal sorting box. For more challenges, attach the rotating wheel on the top, put the right shape block in the appropriate hole then rotate the wheel around until it drops into the correct hole of the box
- This wooden sorting toy is suitable for 3 years plus. If played by children under 3, an adult should be present to supervise and enjoy the interaction of children with this toy. It is an ideal educational toy for children to encourage hand-eye co-ordination and problem solving, whilst learning about colours and shapes
- Safe and environmentally friendly: it is made of sustainable wood with environmentally friendly and non-toxic paints. It conforms to EC EN71, ASTM F963 and CPSIA toys safety Standards; being tested and certified by International Accredited Labs.

The shapes are quite small but my 1 yo has never put them totally in his mouth but like most toys they are probably meant to be used under 'adult supervision'
I like that it has a door, another part of the reason I purchased it, the unfortunate part of the door for us is that you turn the small knob to make it lock and when its locked its locked securely, my son is too young to work this out at the moment so for now I have tied an elastic band around the locking part to stop it from dropping down as it was frustrating my son (and me) having to unlock it every few seconds 😂
It is a reasonable size, Its not too big and bulky and can easily be stored away without taking up tonnes of room.
It seems pretty sturdy, my son has thrown it around quite alot and no signs of breaking. In terms of value for money, I would say 50/50 and to remember wooden toys are generally more expensive.

Very disappointed as the magnet was simply glued into the housing and was no way safe.
Based on this I couldn't in all good conscience recommend this item to anyone.

Other commenters expressed disappointment about how small it is, but personally I really like the size (about 5 inches/12.5 cm square & 3.5 inches/9 cm tall) as we're already swamped in toys as it is and anything that takes up less space is to be welcomed! Especially if it's a relatively attractive neat little wooden box like this rather than the oceans of plastic that tend to take over when you have kids! I'm not really sure why you'd want it to be any bigger, unless maybe you are buying it as a present and just think the size doesn't seem very impressive to give as a gift (take it from me though, the parents will be grateful for you buying something relatively small!).
Another comment mentioned that the shapes were very small and could be a choking hazard, but personally I'm confident they're too big to get lodged in a child's windpipe. They are a nice size for little hands but not so small they're always getting lost!
A couple of minor problems are the reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars: Firstly, the trapezoid shape fits in all of the other holes, which seems to slightly defeat the point of a shape sorter! Having said that, this appears to be a common fault in other shape sorter toys. Secondly, the idea of the removable wheel is great but unfortunately the little wooden screw that fits in the top is very easy to lose - I have no idea where ours has gone although I thought I'd put it somewhere sensible! Given that it might be at least a year between removing the wheel and reattaching it I wouldn't be surprised if many people forgot what they'd done with the screw unless they are super organised or blessed with an amazing memory! In an ideal world it would be nice if the design eliminated this easy to lose piece, or if the screw was a little larger and could be safely left in place without creating a choking hazard if the child managed to unscrew it. Other than those two minor problems, this is a very nice toy that gives slightly more for your money than some other shape sorters and looks much more attractive as well!

Thank you for the comment, we took the circular top off and now my grandson can do some of the shapes by himself. I still think that, by the time they can do the puzzle with the top on, they will be too old to want to do the shape sorter.
