I bought this online as a gift for my niece on her first birthday. She played with it briefly and almost choked on a piece. That's when my sister realized it was rated as a toy for 3 year olds!!! Be aware.

We received this as a gift for my son when he was about one and a half years old. He has absolutely loved it!! He quickly mastered putting the shapes in and learned the names for the shapes. It also helped him to recognize numbers. He plays with the hands on the clock, but I think he's still too young (<3yo) to understand time.

I do agree that it would have been better for the shapes to be the appropriate numbers (ie. #5 the pentagon, #6 the hexagon, etc.). Later down the road we'll have to remove it from the toy box when he's trying to learn how many sides each has. Right now he can say pentagon, hexagon, octagon, but he doesn't use them appropriately.

With our second child, he puts the blocks in his mouth and the paint comes off. So keep away from teethers. ;) The Melissa & Doug products have non-toxic paint, but I still don't think it's good for the child to eat paint chips.

My daughter received this toy for her 3rd birthday. What a great toy?! She has been practicing her shapes and her interest in time has been the thing lately so this is the perfect toy. Its durable, educational and not "brand" relative. A favorite for both of us!

I bought this for my girl who is 3yrs. old but I think I was a bit to quick to buy this toy for my girl. She will grow into this one. She just was starting to play with the forms but the clock will come later.

We bought this after my son started showing an interest in telling time. He has loved learning all the shapes (nothing beats a 3 year old trying to say "parallelogram"). The time is coming a bit slowly, but this thing is durable, so it'll be around a while. Also, the pieces aren't so small that I worry about my infant daughter choking on them. My only beef with this item is they have the "5" on a hexagon and the "6" on a pentagon. It would have been so much smarter to swap those around. I was surpised Melissa and Doug would make that mistake.

I bought this for my nieces Christmas present. And she loved it. She loves playing with it and it is educational at the same time. S

My son loves his clock. It is a good sorting toy plus it helps with numbers and colors. Great toy!

My daughter loves everything Melissa and Doug, especially this clock. We bought it for her second birthday and she plays with it all the time. We have no problem with the pieces fitting into place perfectly. She probably is too young to learn to tell time, but she is learning her numbers, colors and shapes.
