great back-to-basics toy that engages gross and fine motor skills as well as cognitive skills and problem solving. I love that it's made of wood but is still colorful and fun which keeps my baby's attention. I am laughing at these reviews... #1 on the list is complaining about having to show a toddler how to do something? smh... feel like that's the point when you're raising a child. 2nd place goes to the several of you that are very upset about the lid's ability to slide off. if it's such an issue or your kid is too lazy to keep playing the way it's intended, tape it shut 😱 honorable mention goes to the OCD parent losing it over not including a circle...I just pray the crazy doesn't pass down.
Its Ok

Door slides open and does not stay put. How is my kid supposed to use this if she just sees one big side open and figure it’s just easier to put the shapes directly into the box instead of into their corresponding slots. Waste of time and money

Love the box and the colors on the shapes, but the lid is very loose. It falls out when the cube is turned wrong. Should be easy to fix.

The door doesn’t stay shut so as the toddler moves the cube around to find the right hole, the top slides off and everything falls back out!

Simple and straight forward. My 1 year old loves to carry the wooden crate around and fill it up with the blocks.
Not great

Bought these in advance. My baby is old enough now that he can start "playing" with the blocks. He has been playing with them on and off for about a week. DISAPPOINTED. Wow, the paint scrapes off very easy, and apparently the wood is soft yet dry and brittle. I took a picture. Waste of money. I wonder what the return policy is because my son will no longer be playing with these.
I would purchase again.

For 16 month old Love that is all wood Love the natural wood color of box;no distractions Love primary colors for shapes Nice & smooth, although the edges could be made rounded. My baby has bruised himself by tripping & falling on it. Also, if the "lid" would not be removable it would be better in my humble opinion. My son just slides it off & tosses it aside. Although, he is still young at 16 months.
Not for little kids

I got this for our 11mo thinking the wooden blocks would help her learn shapes. What happened to squares, circles and triangles? This has a quadrafoil, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, hexagon, pentagon, octagon etc... these are not shapes my baby can differentiate. Plus several very similar shapes are painted the same color so she can’t even figure them out by color. This might be good for a teenager having trouble with geometry but not a baby/toddler. She does like to bang them together and dump them in the box but learning shapes may take some time. I’ll be looking for one a little simpler.
Beautiful. Functional. Ultimate hand-me-down material.

Beautifully made American craftsmanship. Clearly built to last and pass down from child to child, generation to generation. This particular puzzle box is a great way to encourage abstract reasoning, and just plain fun. Highly recommended!
Just what I was looking for

I have this toy for 2 months and my little ones hands and mouth were yellow. When I inspect the toy, paint was coming off. I sent in an email with picture, I had to call. When I called they told me that they use water based paint. So once that becomes wet it WILL come off. They also told me that 2 year old don't put things in their mouths anymore, that's why they use water based paint. DO NOT BUY, also don't expect good customers' service!

Our grandson had so much fun Christmas when he open this. He and daddy put them in the right spots and when they were done he would day again. Love that he is learning colors and shapes while playing.
Good concept, needs revisions for kids under 3.

I love the fun bright colors, and the same basic principle that comes along with a Melissa & Doug product, however, I was disappointed wit this one. It wasn't fine tuned emough- I bought it for my nearly-two-toddler. And upon fitting the pieces the first time. The pieces were splintering because they were made of just wood. And lightly painted. I would not recommend this for anyone under 3. Or is teething. Side Note: some of the pieces were very similar in shape. I loved the versatility of the shapes but my little one got frustrated because of their similarity. But maybe that was just my son. Lol
