Toys and Games Reviews of Gazoobo Shape Sorter
Customer Review: Too frustrating!
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought this was the cutest (and most educational) toy! - was I wrong! The idea is cute, but it is sitting in my garage waiting to be thrown out. After the first few weeks, the doors stopped closing because the locks malfunctioned. You have to get them to just the right spot, and not move the toy, in order to keep the pieces inside. Also, the edges on the top are rough, so when my son's little sister would try to put her hands inside, they would get all scratched up (and that's on the times her hand DIDN'T get stuck). Cute idea, but the quality isn't there.Customer Review: Get a grip!!!

re: the concerned mother and aunt: Accidents can happen with ALL toys - I am curious to know how old the child was. My 18 month old son took to this toy in seconds. He can sit and play with it for 20 minutes without getting distracted. He does get frustrated with the keys but I know that he is developing necessary skills every time he makes an attempt to open the doors. AND, when he is successful, WOW!!! Talk about being a proud parent. This is a fabulous toy that I would not hesitate to recommendCustomer Review: A concerned mother and aunt

My niece received this toy for Christmas. I was very disappointed with the safety of this toy. The edges are too sharp. After playing with it for 5 minutes, my daughter got her finger caught in one of the doors and screamed for 10 minutes. I would not recommend this toy to anyone. We are going to return it and get something safer.Customer Review: Great toy incorporates many different concepts
Summary: 4 Stars
My son received the Gazoobo for his first birthday. As an elementary school teacher I love the fact that it incorporates so many different concepts into 1 toy: colors, shapes, animals, matching, fine motor skills, directional words (top/bottom/side, push/turn, in/out, etc.), patience and tenacity! It is also a toy he will be able to grow with. Initially, he just loved playing with the keys and puzzle pieces. But after a couple months he was able to start putting in the shapes and animals with my help. At 19 months old, he is identifying the animals, some of the colors, matching the keys/shapes/animals to their corresponding doors, and putting the shapes/animals in with very little help from me. Now he is trying to figure out how to put the keys in to the locks and turn them by himself. He still has a long way to grow with this toy: locking doors by himself, learning shape names, imaginative play, etc. He has already gotten hours of fun and learning from the Gazoobo and I know will continue to do so in the next few years.Customer Review: Long Lasting

My little brother and sister had this toy and it survived them to become a favorite of my daughter's. I just purchased a new one for my son and he loved it. This toy withstood many children before it had to be replaced (due to my misplacing of the keys when we moved). I would recommend this to any parent. As for complaints that the child can not open the doors with the keys. Well, my children figured it out after playing with it for a few months, meanwhile play with the child and "Help" them unlock the doors. Now that my daughter is older (7) she still enjoys helping her brother and sometimes still plays Zookeeper herself.
