Read the verdict and alternativesOur take
A sorter that also works before sorting clicks
The ten blocks and bucket offer an approachable starting activity without requiring a child to match every opening. Removing the lid turns it into filling and emptying play; putting it back introduces the shape challenge. Storage is built into the toy, provided the blocks make it back into the bucket.
- Best fit
- A child who already enjoys containers and chunky shapes.
- Before buying
- Matching may come later than dumping. Play can become too simple as skills grow.
Consider these alternatives
TOMY Hide & Squeak Eggs →
The child enjoys taking things apart and pairing them again.
Fisher-Price Drop Through Rock-a-Stack →
The moving-ring effect rather than the expectation of a familiar central post.
A closer look at the trade-offs
The trade-off
Hide & Squeak Eggs adds matching shells and mechanical sounds. The Drop Through Rock-a-Stack changes the action to placing rings. Baby's First Blocks is the simplest choice when containers and chunky shapes are already a favorite.
Living with it & the first play session
After the wrapping comes off
No. Filling, emptying and handling the shapes are ways to begin; shape matching can come later.
Offer the open bucket and a few shapes.
