The Melissa & Doug Shape Sorting Cube is a timeless wooden toy designed to entertain and educate toddlers aged 2 and up. Crafted from high-quality solid wood, this classic cube includes 12 chunky, brightly colored shapes with smooth, rounded edges—perfect for little hands to grasp and explore. Children match each shape to its corresponding hole, promoting shape and color recognition, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills. A satisfying “clunk” sound rewards successful sorting, while the removable lid allows for endless repeat play. Durable, engaging, and developmentally beneficial, it’s an ideal gift for screen-free, hands-on learning and creative play.

Toddler Learning
Great educacional toy set. My son was absolutely entertained trying to make the shapes fit. It’s been a couple of months since received and it is still in great shape, the wood box and shapes are very sturdy, and the colors have not chipped away. Would definitely recommend.

For kids who love shapes, this is a MUST HAVE!
Omg! My daughter is obsessed with shapes and absolutely loves this toy! We are a big Melissa & Doug family and we love their wooded toys. This cube is fun and has 12 shapes! The only thing I will say that I don’t like about it is the method to retrieve the shapes once they have been inserted. You remove one side of the cube by sliding the side out. The side slides out very easily and therefore slides out ALL the time! Not just when you are wanting it to! Otherwise this toy is amazing!

Toddler enjoys it
Cute simple toy, my toddler enjoys it. I gave it 4 stars because I don’t care for the lid design. I felt it could have been a little better quality.

Owned before, great for Littles
I’ve owned one before and it was in perfect condition. My one year old loves it even though he doesn’t fully get the matching the shapes part, but he loves just playing with the blocks. They’re great. My dog suddenly got a hankering for wood blocks and destroyed half of them, so I bought a new set. The new set arrived broken like this. As much as I could blame the manufacturer, I’m like 99% sure it was my delivery driver, because of where it was thrown. The guy should’ve been a football player. 😂 Regardless, I was able to switch lids with the old one, since it’s not worth the hassle of exchanging. Everything else is great.

I received only 11 pieces. There was no cube in the package. This is the second command in a row they got it wrong.
