Melissa & Doug Stack and Sort Board - Wooden Educational Toy With 15 Solid Wood Pieces

My son is autistic and he absolutely loves this Melissa and Doug stack and sort toy. This toy has helped him with his fine motor skills so much. This toy is so much fun for him to play with! My son has also learned to count with this stacking toy and has started to learn his colors with it! We will continue to play with this toy for years to come because he gets so much enjoyment from stacking the pieces on top of each other.

Nice vibrant colors, sturdy, big enough to not choke on but not so big they don’t fit in toddler hands. I got it for my 12 month old. It says 2+ but I can’t see any reason it wouldn’t be good for a 1 year old. Good toy to grow with him. Just sliding them on the legs now but later colors, shapes, counting too. Only complaint is the bottom is thin and curved so it knocks over sometimes but not often enough to actually be an issue.

It was a cute easy gift for my son

This is a high quality toy, the kind you can keep and let your grandchildren play with 35 years from now. This is beautifully classic and made of wood. You can use it as intended: a sorting toy. A very young child, as young as 18 months (or younger) in my opinion, can play with this and start learning about colors, shapes, placing the pieces in the pegs, building a little wood tower and so on. There are many possibilities when using a toy like this one and it is therefore very educational. My children do not play with this toy every day. Like many of these classics they are sometimes put away and forgotten for a time. But then you bring them out of their corner (where they look very attractive if arranged properly) and the kids can have a lovely time with them. I find usually I have to engage the children: ask to find the pentagon and look, doesn't it look like a red house? Do you remember? Fire trucks are red too. And so on. It is a good bonding experience. The kids usually keep on playing with this for a few minutes, giving mommy some time to take idyllic pictures for social media of little angels actually playing with wood toys until it's time to put it away (they start throwing pieces or no longer behaving like angels). Keeping it real lol. We have had this for two years. I posted a picture I took right before I wrote this. It looks new! The problems with this toy are those you would have with anything made of wood: it is noisy in hardwood floors, and can hurt you or your windows if a child throws one of these pieces. However, you should be fine with supervision.

Went to a friends who had one similar, my baby didn’t put it down whole time we were there. Decided to order her one when we got one. Plenty to pick from but this one caught my eye! Happy with my pick, she loves it! Love being able to buy things like this that are worth it, and affordable! She loves it !!

Before my second child arrived, I was looking for a few durable new toys that my toddler would (hopefully!) play with while I was taking care of the new baby. I really like this toy. It is a solid toy with vibrant colors that I know will last us as a family for years to come. As a teacher, I was really excited about all of the educational possibilities in this one toy. We have sorted by color, shape, and practiced counting with each item. My toddler loves to pretend to put the pieces on the wrong colored peg and then laugh when mommy looks shocked. He practices counting how many are on each color, and has started naming all of the shapes. He can learn a lot through play with this one item which makes this teacher mom happy. Lots of learning and less stuff! :) Basically, this toy is definitely worth the price and won't look junky on your shelves.

My daughter 18 months seems to love this toy very much she kept busy with it for quite sometime which is great. The only dislike I had is when I opened the package it smelt like spray paint and the pieces were stuck together I had to pull them apart. Makes me nervous if she tried to put them in her mouth ... I have alot of toys like this from Melissa and Doug and none had that problem soo not sure but over all a great toy and she loves it. Update - that paint smell didn't last very long and has seem to gone away. My daughter is in love with this toy she's even starting to sort the blocks on to the correct colors this really is a great teaching toy!

I really love Melissa & Doug toys, they are so heavy duty that they will last for years, and you just don't see that in toys anymore. The quality of this stacker/sorter is no exception. The pieces are all very brightly colored, so there is no mistake or confusion for the child to sort. The pieces also feel as if they are coated, which will offer protection for the paint, as chipping can be a problem for wooden toys. My daughter is special needs and if anyone out there has a child with special needs, you know that any type of toy or product geared toward our children is SUPER expensive. Melissa & Doug toys are appealing to my daughter, sturdy enough to stand up to tossing and/or chewing, and cost effective enough to not break my wallet. Just the fact that I know that these toys are sturdy enough to pass down to my grandchildren is worth the price. I really like this toy and my daughter does too (which is really the only opinion that matters) and recommend it to anyone with small children!

Although its costly compared to similar toys from other brands.. the extra bucks are the worth the smiles of kids.. very nice finish and attractive colors. Also the seller packaging was just perfect to avoid any damage in transit. All in all.. fully satisfied.

Very very good same as pictures, my baby loved it

The Melissa & Doug Stack and Sort set is absolutely fantastic! My grandson toddler loves playing with it — the bright colors, different shapes, and wooden texture keep them engaged for long periods of time.

Expensive...but quality is excellent...size is big enough ... No sharp edges... Very good doe color learning

Good quality toy, sturdy and age appropriate. There’s a legend on the bottom with different ways you can get your child to engage. Will purchase again.
