Delivers as advertised and more.

My son has CVI and is on the spectrum. Buying toys for him can be a challenge, he needs something to keep his attention, keep his fingers busy, but can't have anything visually distracting or it's overwhelming. The toys have to be big enough its not taxing to look at and solid primary colors or he loses the edges of the shape and can't identify it. These are perfect! I was surprised with the quality of the plastic, I had expected them to be cheap like most standard shape sorters that shatter when they get tossed but these are nice and thick, durable. I was pleased. The only thing that I was surprised by was the size of the bag. In the photo of the product there is a young child wearing the bag like a backpack.that was not our experience. If you read the dimensions for the product those are more accurate to what you will receive. The bag was big enough to fit each part of the toy and we appreciated the easy clean up that mimic'd closely the work he does with his therapists. The colors were bright and accurately pictured, great for him to see easily. The size of the edges of the nuts and the motion of twisting them really encourages kids to develop that pincer grasp which is the basis of most skills they will develop. My son loves traditionally opening and closing the nuts and bolts, but also will fixate on them as a "wheel". He will spin the toy around the axis as though daydreaming but he enjoys the sensation of the movement. I was impressed, this toy exceeded my expectations and I will most likely be purchasing the pegboards as gifts for his therapists this holiday season, or even more of these sets. This is a toy that masters both aspects of being therapy and a toy, enjoyable, yet educational.My son's therapists are big proponents as well, they often pull this toy out of his toy chest to work with him, using it in ways I hadn't considered. Versatile enjoyable toy.
