Summary: Absolutely delightful!
Comment: Well constructed. Two year old son enjoys taking out and putting back, opening and closing, letting animals visit each other and stacking. I like that the animals all have a closable home when play time is over so the parts don't get lost or seperated (I have learned to keep chicken and nest in with the cows when not in play so that they are neater). Son loves animals and farm animals are a favorite. We have learned that farm animals live in different homes (barn, pigstye, sheep pen, nest), sing old Mcdonald, let the animals visit each other, pretend they are hiding in the wrong home just for fun, etc. Play together or play by himself toy. He can really use his imagination with this toy. And also learn hand eye co ordination, opposites and sorting and catagorizing (which belongs, which doesn't etc.). Both Mom and son love this toy!

Summary: Great Learning Tool
Comment: My 2 year old son really enjoys this toy. I got it to work on sorting like-items which was really easy to do with all the visual aspects of the toy. Once he gets done sorting, he has fun just playing "farm" with the cute animals and stacking the containers. I think even our younger child will enjoy this toy's soft containers and animals. Great toy for a child to grow up with as it is great for a wide span of ages.

Summary: Best gift of the year
Comment: We bought this product for our 16 month old granddaughter and it was the absolute hit of the year. Not only does she love opening and closing them and hiding the animals inside, but all her playmates rush to grab them when they come to visit. She knows what the animals are, and makes the sounds each time she pulls one out.
We earned top grandparents points for this one!

Summary: A great concept
Comment: The Counting and Sorting Farm is a great concept. However, the material it is made of is hard for stacking the "cups", especially for very young children. The young children love putting the items in and out of each container but, like most toys, to get the best "learning" out of the toy, it requires one on one with an adult or older child. You can use this toy in a variety of ways, however. Language/vocab development, positional words, matching, of course counting/sorting. Having the "cups" different sizes allow for some problem solving to take place. (For example, there are 4 cows and they won't all fit into the sheep container so it must not be the correct container.) It helps with the development of fine motor skills as well as object permanence with the younger children. With older children you can introduce the concept of even and odd, while counting. I personally would put the suggested age at about 18 months. Depending on a preschooler's development, you may find that it doesn't hold their interest or challenge them because the numbers only go up to 4. In general, this toy has potential.
