Tupperware Shape O Ball Toy

My son is 7 months old, and he loves this toy. He plays with the individual shapes while he waits for dinner in his high chair. He also enjoys shaking the ball and hearing the shapes rattle around inside. Since it's designed to grow with a child, it won't be long before he'll be able to put the shapes in the ball.

After disappointed from buying the Fisher Price shape sorter (all my 16 mo old did was pull off the lid and play with it, which defeats it's purpose) I did some research trying to find a better product. My husband suggested this because he had it as a child. I didn't remember having this, but I ordered it and I'm glad I did. Not only does it come with a lot of different shapes, it's also hard for the baby to take apart. Other shape sorters that have lids or tops that come off won't do any good. This one requires an older person to pull the two sides apart, therefore, opening the product and allowing the pieces to come out. I thought it was pricey when I bought it, but after seeing it in person I realize it'll last a very long time if not forever and it can be passed on to my other future children.

I chose this shape sorter because of the retro factor... it's just like the ones I remember from when I was young. Others I've seen don't have as many shapes as this one (my son now knows 'trapezoid'!) and it is self-contained, durable and very portable. It's also multi-purpose... besides being used as a shape sorter toy, my son: rolls it around as a ball, shakes it up so the shapes rattle around inside, and we trace the shape pieces with a crayon to learn how to draw shapes. One of his favorite toys!

The Tupperware shape sorter is the best baby sorting toy out there. We live abroad now, but I picked up 4 of them to bring back to Europe.

The reasons, why our kids loved it so much: 1.) Form and function are above all other similar sorting toys. It is just a very well made toy 2.) It is plastic and easy to lift and clean (A lot of parents would prefer wood. But often, the wood sorters are simply too heavy and bulky to be handled by little toddler hands) 3.) It is formed like a facetted ball. That makes it easy for baby to turn it around themselves. 4.)The cut out holes and the shapes are very precise. Only *1* shape fits into *1* correct hole. Many other shape sorters even more expensive ones allow for wiggling wrong forms into wrong holes 5.) It is a mental challenge because some of the shapes are really hard to discern like trapeze, pentagon, hexagon 6.) For parents: It is no "loose pieces nuisance" like so many other toys because: when baby is finished playing, all pieces are automatically back inside. So there are hardly any pieces ever lost 7.) Keeps baby busy for about 10 minutes

For ages 9 months and up.

I recommend it!

I think my daughter got this toy for her first birthday. At first I only let her play with it while I could help her, because she'd get frustrated or bored. I would put the shapes halfway into the slot and help her push them in. Then I would put the shape into the correct position in her hand and show her the slot to put it in. Eventually, I would let her pick the shapes she wanted to put in, and position the ball for her to put the shapes in the slots. She's 23 months old, and can put all the shapes in herself, quickly and easily, and she can name about half of them as well. She's also figured out how to open the ball for herself and empty the shapes, so she can play independently.

She's now teaching her little (6-month-old) brother how to play with the toy (he just likes to chew and drool on the shapes right now). This is a durable toy, and totally worth the extra cost.

There are just some toys every child should grow up with (oldies but goodies), and this is one of them!
