Counting Shape Stacker

The wood is thick enough that my two-year-old can't bend or chew the pieces, which was my main worry. She's been matching the shapes to the pegs for a week and now counts them out loud while she stacks.

The 55 shape pieces keep my four-year-old busy for a solid half hour, which never happens with other toys. He's learning to sort by color and count them out loud without realizing it's educational. The wood feels solid too, no splinters after weeks of daily use.

My toddler pulls this off the shelf every single morning—the ten numbered columns make counting feel like a game, and the bright colors keep her sorting for ages. It's solid enough that I don't worry about it breaking, which is huge for us.
