Wooden Montessori Toys for Toddlers, Shape Sorting Cube Whack Mole Fine Motor Skills Game for 1 2 3 Year Old 18 Month Baby Boys Girls Gift

It's made with good materials, and is very durable. The design with the elastic straps is nice, as it makes it a bit more engaging than most "square hole games". Wedging the spheres into the holes in the top and smacking them with a hammer is so satisfying. Our son loves it, and it's the easiest way to distract him from whatever mischief he's getting into at any given moment.

My 18 month old little boy loves this toy! He got super frustrated with other toys like this because he couldn’t get the shapes back out after putting them in. The sides that are stretchy that allows him to reach back in and get them is a genius idea. It is made out of wood and not plastic which I like. He has learned shapes and colors much better by using this so very educational. Great toy for the price.

I bought this for my one year old granddaughter. She is still learning how to play with it, but loves it. She can't quite whack hard enough with the hammer, but loves when I help her. She hasn't quite grasped matching the shapes to their holes, but has learned how to go through the elastic sides. It's very nicely built and sturdy. Overall, a wonderful toy to add to her toy box.

My 1 yr old grandson likes to play with the balls mostly. But he is figuring it out!

The paint does not chip not matter what. My toddler beats thing thing to a pulp and the paint remains. The pieces are also big enough that I know he couldn’t possibly cram one of these into his mouth and get it stuck (knocking on wood) so I feel really safe leaving him alone for a sec while playing with it.
