Toys and Games Reviews of Tupperware Shape O Ball Toy
Customer Review: Fun toy-- durable and grows with your child!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think my daughter got this toy for her first birthday. At first I only let her play with it while I could help her, because she'd get frustrated or bored. I would put the shapes halfway into the slot and help her push them in. Then I would put the shape into the correct position in her hand and show her the slot to put it in. Eventually, I would let her pick the shapes she wanted to put in, and position the ball for her to put the shapes in the slots. She's 23 months old, and can put all the shapes in herself, quickly and easily, and she can name about half of them as well. She's also figured out how to open the ball for herself and empty the shapes, so she can play independently.
She's now teaching her little (6-month-old) brother how to play with the toy (he just likes to chew and drool on the shapes right now). This is a durable toy, and totally worth the extra cost.
There are just some toys every child should grow up with (oldies but goodies), and this is one of them!
Customer Review: this is the one!

After disappointed from buying the Fisher Price shape sorter (all my 16 mo old did was pull off the lid and play with it, which defeats it's purpose) I did some research trying to find a better product. My husband suggested this because he had it as a child. I didn't remember having this, but I ordered it and I'm glad I did. Not only does it come with a lot of different shapes, it's also hard for the baby to take apart. Other shape sorters that have lids or tops that come off won't do any good. This one requires an older person to pull the two sides apart, therefore, opening the product and allowing the pieces to come out. I thought it was pricey when I bought it, but after seeing it in person I realize it'll last a very long time if not forever and it can be passed on to my other future children.Customer Review: Your child will need your help to play with this!

My 13 month-old likes this toy, but gets frustrated constantly. Once I help her put the pieces in (because it is quite complicated) all she wants me to do is take them out. She is frustrated she can't get them in or out by herself, and is frustrated even with me helping her. I'm going to buy the Fisher Price one where she can take the top off herself!! I spend lots of time with my kids, but need them to at least be able to play for 1 or 2 minutes without needing my help, and this is not the toy for that. Since its a ball, it is not sturdy for little hands to try to put pices in (unlike something that can sit flat on the ground). My 2 and 3 year-olds aren't enthralled with it either. I'm surprised so many people love it - didn't work for any of us and I just sold it on Craigslist!!Customer Review: Just like the one I had when I was little!

I chose this shape sorter because of the retro factor... it's just like the ones I remember from when I was young. Others I've seen don't have as many shapes as this one (my son now knows 'trapezoid'!) and it is self-contained, durable and very portable. It's also multi-purpose... besides being used as a shape sorter toy, my son: rolls it around as a ball, shakes it up so the shapes rattle around inside, and we trace the shape pieces with a crayon to learn how to draw shapes. One of his favorite toys!Customer Review: Kind of Hard but OK
Summary: 3 Stars
I had this as a child and remember liking it. I bought it for my child though and didn't anymore much. It is really hard to open. When I pull the sides apart, I have to shake it all around to get the shapes to fall out. I know my little ones could never do this. I also don't really like the ball design because it is hard to find the correct hole. This toy is durable and nicely bright colored, but I prefer other shape toys.
