Unboxing
The Hape Turtle Toy is packaged in a medium-sized cardboard box. It is easily removed from said box with minimal fuss. The shapes for the shape sorter are stored inside and wrapped in tissue paper.
The Playtime Experience
I love playing with the Hape Shape Sorter Wooden Pull Turtle Toy. The shape sorter is round and circular with one side having the sort slots and the other is a large opening blocked with a stretchy band. The band can be pulled to the side to pull all the shapes out to repeat the play time.
To use the Pull portions of the toy, simply place the round shape sorter on the back of the Turtle. It rests on the wheels and as you pull the it the wheels turn the shape sorter round and round. It is just so cute!
Things I Liked
I really love the design of this Hape toy. The simplicity makes it so much fun and the way the shape sorter turns around and around is just so cute!
Things I Didn't Like
I don’t have anything I dislike about this play set.
Appropriate Ages
This Hape toy is recommended for players 12 months and older. It is perfect for teaching fine motor skills, colors, shapes and numbers since each of the shapes has a different color, number and picture on it.
Final Note
I am in love with this Hape Shape Sorter Wooden Pull Turtle Toy. It is so cute, simply made and classic in design. I love the way the shape sorter turns around and around when pulled and I love that the shapes color and design give plenty of opportunity for additional learning.
