My 2 year old received this when she was 10 months old and can now name the shapes and put them in the correct places she also can tell me the colours so I am now making sure she knows her numbers.My 11 month old loves clashing the shapes together and putting them inside the cookie jar only to take them out again.My only negative is that the lid is hard to take off for a toddler.
My little boy loves dancing to the music more than actually sorting the shapes.
It’s very easy for him to put lid on and off. I like that it has 2 functions, one for the shapes and for the numbers on the shapes so double learning.
One of the most played with toys he has.
I have used this toy with my boys and at work in a nursery and it engages children for a long time, can be used to learn colours shapes and numbers good for hand eye coordination for a variety of ages.
Brightly coloured, variety of settings, promotes hand to eye co ordination
Weaknesses:
Batteries ran out quickly, shapes fit tightly through gap so smaller child struggled a little

I bought this for my eldest daughter several years ago and it is still played with now-although by her younger siblings! The toy had survived numerous tantrums and being thrown quickly into toy boxes. Somehow we’ve managed not to loose any shapes. I love how colourful and sturdy this toy is and the different modes you can choose. My youngest struggles a little to fit the shapes in the whole as they are very tight fitting so have to be put in perfectly to fit through. All my children have loved playing with this despite their varying personalities so it really is a toy for all to enjoy. The price isn’t too expensive especially considering how long it lasts. We have had to change the batteries several times as they seem to run out quickly but this may just be due to it being played with a lot in our house.
A fantastic product that kept my little one amused for ages. The bright colours make it appealing to little eyes and the rewarding lights and noises when played with made my child want to continue playing.
It is very repetitive & doesn't have enough vocabulary

This was bought for my daughter as a Christmas present when she was 4 months old. She is now 9 months & has started to show interest in this now as she loves taking all of the shapes out of the cookie jar.
She is still too young to push the shapes through the correct holes.
The cookie jar sings when the shapes are put in or removed but it is so repetitive that I had to turn the sound off.
I think this would be better for an older baby as is described but nonetheless if you have a baby that loves taking things out of a box then this is ideal.
This is a really fun and exciting toy. I originally purchased as my son’s friend had one and my little boy wouldn’t leave it alone! It’s great for keeping my little boys attention as there are many different elements to it. The little shapes are good for colour recognition and counting. The shapes are a bit tricky to get into the allocated slots. I like the way the songs start when the shapes are put into the jar. The songs are catchy and my little boy loves clapping along.
Great for young children both my girls liked this but preferred putting the shapes through the top rather than the shape holes and would press the buttons. But this has lovely bright colours, numbers and shapes 3 separate things to learn which is really good for one toy.
This was great fun for my 2 youngest girls who enjoyed putting the shapes in and out of the lid. Some of the shapes are tricky to get in, particularly because of the angle they have to go in. The star was always the one that was just put through the lid after a frustrated baby gave up trying and I have to admit it isn’t the easiest. Most shape sorted you drop the shapes in from the top so this was a bit of an odd one. The song gets very stuck in your head too! “Would you like a cookie...” I’d find myself sat at my desk at work singing it!
It's made really well and can stand being chucked around

Bought this for my baby when she was only 5 months old but it's been one of her favourite toys ever since. She loves the different shapes and banging them together and now she's older she is so impressed when she manages to get a shape in the whole.
Only problem is it is a bit tricky for the child to actually push the shape in sometimes.
Have to get the right angle with some of the shapes. Can be a bit tough

My daughter & I can spend ages sat on the floor playing with this. We absolutely love it, to the point I have the tunes going round my head when I’m trying to get off to sleep.
Love that it does shapes & numbers. The only drew back is some of the shapes are tough to put in the holes. A bonus is my daughter has cut at least two teeth from chewing on the star.
Music to engage the child's interest, educational as teaches about shapes and numbers

Shapes when teething can be an issue if your little one decides to chomp down hard

Very engaging product. My little one loves the cooker jar shape sorter! The music is fun and it's educational as it teaches little ones about shapes and numbers and the nose also lights up which attracts their attention.

Lovely educational toy with lots to learn with an easy on/off lid for little ones to use themselves.
The shapes and the jar are very solid and lasting for a long use. The sounds get a little repetitive but ideal for children to listen to.
My daughter got bored of this quite quickly. At first she just kept taking the lid on and off and kept putting the shapes in this way.
This was where there was the really annoying music.
Once she learnt how to insert the shapes correctly it got boring to her.
Would not buy again.
Keeps the playtime going and good little educational activity
Weaknesses:
Batteries need replacing after a few weeks of use

Excellent educational toy even at young age. It’s a fun way to teach even babies the shapes, colours numbers and tunes are not too annoying.
