- Makes with Shapes Animal | Learning Toy | Kids Age 3+ | Make animals from soft 8mm foam shape pieces; learn shapes, colours & spatial skills as parts snap into a whole; non-toxic

With the advent of Chinese influence in our daily lives, we are blindly getting in the trap without even contemplating the consequences. It has been the issue with toy purchases even for our little kids where we do not even think of their health concerns. While the toy ban has largely been influenced by political pressure, there has been truth that children toys by Chinese are indeed toxic and harmful for all our children.I have been particular in buying children's toys from trusted sources and though it pinches a bit more in pocket, it heaves me a sense of relief. My find has narrowed down to an Indian brand - Imagemake which specializes in making children activity products. The best thing about the brand is that they are perfectly safe and follows European standards.This 'Make with Shape' is a fun-filled product which will keep kids hooked onto it. The caricature as well as the shapes are made with soft foam which is definitely safe. I have tried tested the foam and found no colour leak whatsoever, thus making is extra safe. However, it is not advised to leave kids alone with it as they will tend to put it in the mouth.There are five different boards - Rocket, Car, Engine, Boat and Truck, and the kid needs to put in various shapes to complete the boards getting the designated forms. It will not only keep them hooked on but also make aware of the different shapes and sizes. Square, Rectangle, Circle, Triangle and Star are among the shapes which the kids would be aware of.Overall, I found the activity game set fun and involving with it being safe for the kids. I, however, have deducted a star owing to the reason that it could have been more price friendly with deals.

My baby girl has just entered in her second year and I wanted to buy some activity learning toys which are engaging and encouraging my baby to develop her problem solving skills, speaking skills and fine motor skills. I came to know about this imagimake abacus through one of my friends and it fullfill my requirements.It is the best in safety standards as my girl is small and still takes toys in her mouth. It is made from soft foam material which is very light and soft as compared to those heavy wooden activity toys.It has 10 plastic poles which kids need to place in its place and it's ready to go. My girl started counting 1, 2, 3 while putting shapes in poles. It has become her favorite activity. It's really fun to watch her playing with this Imagimake Abacus.It is perfect for her age group. I'm looking forward for more purchases from Imagimake I just loved their safety standards and materials used to make such innovative products.Thanks for reading my review, Click on the helpful button if you find it helpful.

The media could not be loaded.  👍 Made with good quality foam which is light weight and cut with precision.👍 Excellent finishing👍 Made in India.Problem with some of wooden puzzles is that they are hard and some times toddlers step on it or sleep while playing and that can be a problem. Foam puzzles are a good option too as long as they are made of good material that does not tear.👍 Our 2.5 years old 👶 is happy to play with with shapes fixing the puzzle and carry the pieces around.👍 Kids can learn about individual shapes and also learn about things which can be made with shapes.👍 Colours are attractive.👍 There are many ways a toddler can play with shapes not just fixing them in the form of given puzzles.See pictures and a video.😊 Happy with the purchase.

The media could not be loaded.  I wasn't too sure at first but looks like i made the right decision. I got this as a gift for my nephew's brithday and he absoulutely loved it. It's go the right amount of buildingbut mainly the educational aspect of it is very subtly perfect. Your kid doesnt even know he's learning. It incorporates a multiple affect of playing on different levels and being able to teach them at the same time. The opieces are very sturdy and doesnt look like some sort of plastic stuff (as you can see in the video my sister made) Its thick and got the right amount of softness in it. All the pieces are ver kid-friendly too. Anyway, I've already bought the rest of the set for now so I dont have to do more gift shopping for later. You can't go wrong with their productss anyway so why not. (Some more details in the video review) Anyway i rate the product and the brand an easy 11 out of 10.

I bought this for a very sweet little kid in my neighborhood. He just loves it. Easy to handle, easy to play with, and it helps him learn! Look forward to more products like this. Thanks.

I have given it 3 star because of the after work that it leaves parents with. I returned it immediately because of this reason. Each full piece can disintegrate into 6 pieces and there are 26 full pieces which means 156 small pieces. When you give this to a toddler in the age group 2-4 which is intended for this puzzle/activity, they will never put it back as it should be after playing. Will find the pieces under the tables, sofas etc after a day.. lot of work for parents with so many toys already. As compared to the intended learning, it is a lot of mess.

These are English alphabets cut in foam and stuck in corresponding frames in a foam strip. The capital letter, small letter and the corresponding picture are all in separate pieces . So once you unpack it, you have 26x3 pieces around you plus the corresponding frames. It is a good thing in principal. However, it may be too much for toddlers and too little for pre-schoolers. I have got it to familiarise my 18 month old to the shape of letters. Now I realise it is cumbersome to keep the three elements of each alphabet connected and therefore to make sense. The alphabets are not very snugly fitting and come out of the frames at a touch.This is surely not the best option for teaching alphabets.

I was looking for foam puzzles that are easy to sanitize in my classroom and hold up well with small children and cleaning products. I have had these for over a month and regardless of the wear and tear of 2 year olds and being cleaned every single day, they are holding up beautifully! I am very impressed with this product and I will look into this brand again when looking for new puzzles for my kiddos.

Bought this one for grandchild. We are teaching her the colors and shape. It is very easy for her to push the shape out and put it back. She loves to push every one out and leave them on the floor. The material is very sturdy. She stepped on them and did not crush them. Each shape holds up Pretty. The colors are basic ones. Just right for a 18-month old.

but of course my 4 year old saw it and immediately wanted to play. Easy to push out, very colorful and the "treats" theme made both kids very excited. some parts are tricky to put together for my 2 year old, but I could see my 4 year old processing the pieces and putting them together correctly. Now off to search for something similar but more challenging for the older kid :)

Bought these for my 2-year-old’s birthday. At this point he just likes to punch out the shapes but once in a while I can see him thinking about where it goes. We only keep 3 out so the pieces aren’t everywhere. I think they will last a while! And I like them better than the wooden puzzles.

My daughter is 2yo and loves puzzles. These are just complex enough that they keep her engaged, but just simple enough that they aren't ridiculously frustrating. They've held up to lots of play and we love them.
