Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby’s First Blocks!
Ten bright blocks are ready for baby to drop into the open bucket or through the shape-sorting lid. Baby will love filling the bucket with blocks, dumping them out, then starting over again. Great for eye-hand coordination and other early skills. Then baby can move on to sorting and stacking and learning about identifying and matching shapes. Includes plastic shape-sorting box with take-anywhere handle and ten colorful blocks

My 8 month old has been playing with this for 2 months, and she LOVES it. She feels the shapes, chews on them, throws them, bangs them together, etc. However, she doesn’t actually put the shapes through their correct hole. The lid comes off way too easily! She rips the lid off, bangs it on the red box, throws it, chews it, but never uses it as it is intended. Perhaps if the lid snapped on somehow she would learn how to put the shapes into the holes. I do use this toy to say the name of the shape and the colors, and I try to show her how they fit into the holes, but she’s not interested. One good thing is you can wash them in the sink with soap and water very easily. You can’t do this with a lot of toys.

I bought this toy for my daughter. She seems to enjoy it, but perhaps she is just slightly too young for it. She stands up holding onto the toy, which isn’t meant for 20+lbs to be leaning on it, so its always tipping over (she’s never gotten hurt as the toy isn’t very tall and I always put it on carpet; the thing tipping is more of an annoyance to me). If I don’t want it to tip, I have to hold the thing steady while she plays. Also, sometimes the suction doesn’t seem to work right, and the balls won’t shoot up through the tube – I check to make sure nothing is blocking the little fan on the bottom – I have no idea whats causing this. Usually I just turn it off and then back on, and everything is fine. I have only had this item for a little over a week though, so I think its kind of crappy that I would be having even occassional problems with it.
