Great Puzzler for lots of educational activities
Bought this toy for my two-year-old and it was an immediate hit. I like that the poles are uniform in size and so any of the "rings" will fit on in any order. It's a great toy for learning to sort, learning colors and counting.

Poor quality control
When we got this toy out of the box, about a third of the pieces were stuck together because the toy had apparently been packaged when the paint was still wet. When I pried the pieces apart, paint from one piece was stuck on the other piece. After I was done, it was looking pretty ugly.

Must attend children playing with this
To begin playing, take the blocks off the poles. At first I was worried she would fall over and hurt herself on these exposed poles. Next, the poles fell off, which then exposes this clear glue which my child wants to chew on.

Just like the sorting cube I bought with this, the colored paint chips off. The square is 2 shapes which fit to be a square. Seems like a good advanced concept, but mostly concerned of the sharp edges. So those were put away.

I should have bought one of the plastic versions of this. The paint would not have chipped off. And maybe the poles would have been attached to the base rather than adhered with toxic glue.

I love this toy!
I purchased this for my 6 month old. Hes a little young so I keep the smaller blocks and the base away from him to keep from injury. But its great to watch him grab each piece from the stack and try to put it back.
