Product Description
Captivating pegging activities plus sorting rubber pieces by color or shape make this Lauri toy a favorite of youngsters. Kids eagerly sort the 25 chunky Crepe Rubber pieces (5 shapes in 5 bright colors) with the 11-1/2" long sorting board and 5 removable wood pegs.
Editorial Review
Circles, squares, triangles, hearts, and stars! Little ones will delight in their ability to sort and stack these colorful, spongy shapes on glossy wooden pegs. The Shape and Color Sorter helps preschoolers and kindergartners learn the essential skills of hand-eye coordination, shape and color recognition, and sorting. Brightly colored and fun to touch, the 25 crepe rubber pieces are nearly indestructible. In fact, this set exceeds standards set by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission. Still, the product is not meant for children who may put objects in their mouths. Comes with a 3.75-by-11.5-inch base panel and five removable "punkin-head pegs." --Joan DeClaire

My two-year-old loves this toy. January 7, 2010
Camillia (Wisconsin)
My two-year-old son just got this toy for Christmas. He loves it! He will spend 20 to 30 min. at a time stacking, sorting, and unstacking the parts. In just two weeks he has learned the names of the shapes, and now we are working on colors. I love that it is quiet, without batteries, and educational. I will be buying this for gifts and looking at more toys from this company.
What a great reminder that kids love simple things that allow them to use their own imagination.
 Great educational and fun toy!! December 13, 2009

Our sons played with this toy a lot when they were young, and now I buy them for gifts.
They are great and very educational.
Functional but not fun for all November 29, 2008

I use this item for doing developmental evaluations of children up to 3 years old. It is very useful for that purpose but I find that only about 25% of the kids are interestesd in it. The ones who like it seem to like it a lot but the high energy kids don't really like it much. Maybe it would "grow" on a kid if they had it in their home but in general I'd only recommend it to families whose kids like fine motor tasks like puzzles, shape sorters, etc.
My 18 month old loves it!!! August 29, 2006

My mother originally bought this toy at a garage sale, so of course it was missing pieces. Being a teacher I immediately saw the learning potential (colors, shapes, fine motor, counting, sorting, etc). I did some research and found this product (least expensive after shipping) at a store called LiveandLearn. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars is because the pieces can easily get lost. I bought another one to replace the one with missing pieces. My daughter really enjoys this toy.
Great for three-year-olds July 2, 2006

I bought this item for my little boy's third birthday and he just loves it. Prior to using this toy, I had difficulty trying to teach him his colors. Now he separates the colors like a pro!
I have another three-year-old (soon to be four). He uses this toy in a totally different way. He sorts by shape, sets out the different foam pieces and pegs on the floor and plays with them just as pieces, fills his little basket with them and walks around the house like Little Red Riding Hood, and generally loves them.
I must say that I love all products by Lauri. We have some lacing/tracing toys and some puzzles as well. They have helped both my toddlers with their fine motor skills more than any other toys they own. The foam pieces stand up well, as long as your kids are past the choking/chewing age. Also, Lauri Toys will replace lost or chewed on pieces!
The only reason I give this item 4 stars and not 5 is that our pegs get lost very easily due to my younger toddler's throwing habit. If a peg is missing, the puzzle isn't nearly as much fun. I understand that the peg/foam pad was developed to go with Lauri's other peg systems, so it wouldn't be a big deal if we had other pegs from Lauri, but we don't.
