PS - Writing reviews has become a hobby for me, and it is always exciting to know that people find my reviews helpful (and if not, why.) Also, if you have any questions, clarifications, or comments please feel free to leave a comment below. I usually respond pretty quickly and almost always within 48 hours.
This is one of those play items where I must participate, my little one doesn't quite understand the difference between shapes just yet, so he will sit there jamming the circle into the square spot until I guide his little hands over to the circle space and then cheer him on when I slide it in for him lol.
It's cute, and I don't mind at all, I was looking for more little fun activities we can do together.
Perfect sized pieces for his little hands and sturdy board.
I'm happy with my purchase : )
I purchased this set for my husband to use in occupational therapy, in conjunction with a Saebo glove, for the purpose of restoring some use to his stroke-damaged hand. It's a good, inexpensive set for home-use purposes. It provides visual interest and variety, along with a genuine but attainable challenge.
Hape also makes a "designing" set with very small pegs ( HABA Color Peg, Color Pictures Game ) that I hope my husband will be able to use eventually, as his hand improves. It is another very well-made wooden pegboard set.
