Lauri Tall-Stackers - Pegs and Pegboard Set Multi, 26 Pieces

We are so pleased with this purchase. Our 20 month old daughter frequently pulls out this toy as well as the Lauri Shape Stacker. When we first got this toy, my daughter couldn't quite get the pegs all the way into the hole and they would easily come out, but with practice and persistence, she can now push them down far enough that they stay. She really enjoys stacking the pegs both on and off of the peg board, and I love the fine motor practice she gets from playing with it!I am also very pleased with Patch Products customer service. We went on a trip, brought this toy along, and came home one red peg short. I contacted Patch inquiring about obtaining another red peg to complete our set again. I fully expected to pay for the replacement, but I was so pleasantly surprised when I received a prompt response letting me know that another red peg was on it's way to me, free of charge. It arrived just a couple of days later. I highly recommend this as well as the Shape Stacker.

My almost-two-year-old daughter lit up when she saw this toy! I placed the peg board in front of her and just left the pegs in the open box for her to choose which ones she wanted. The design is simple, yet inviting. With no instruction or help from me, she grasped a peg and poked it right into one of the holes. She has room to increase her fine motor skills as the holes are tight (no doubt to hold the pegs securely--also awesome), and the suggested activities will be very beneficial to her early learning.My daughter still (sometimes) puts objects in her mouth, and these pegs are large enough that they don't pose a safety concern in the slightest way. The only issue the mother of a young child could have is the potential for messes if the pegs get spread around a room...but that is inevitable with any toy that teaches sorting and building. I can also say that it's easy to make sure all pegs are present--there are five each of five colors!This will make a great activity basket!

Lauri Tall-Stackers - Pegs and Pegboard Set is a fun toy that keeps children entertained for hours on end. They love playing with these pegs and never seem to get bored of them. The bright colors are fun looking and invite them to play. It's good for ages 1 to 9. They really enjoy playing with this toy. It's also durable and easy to store. Just put it in a plastic box and store it somewhere. The pegs are made of really strong plastic and never break. the boards seem like they could tear more easily, but they don't tear. Mine have been used and abused tons and they're doing fine.I highly recommend this toy for your bored kids.

This is a great developmental toy, especially for kiddos with fine motor challenges, because the pegs will stack up, and it can also be used for teaching concepts of colors and patterns.We've had it for 3 years now, and finally, finally, our son is able to get the pegs into the foam board. That is actually my only criticism of this toy, the peg holes on the foam board are bit tighter then I think is necessary and can make it pretty challenging if there are a lot of fine motor challenges.We have been using this for the entire 3 years though, because we have been working up to that point, and because the pegs were easier to get together individually then to push into the foam holder, there was a time when he was putting them together like a giant spear and running around the house with it, which added an element of use to this toy I hadn't considered, but since it made my son happy, I thought it was cool.

My 13 month old (only plays with these under my supervision) and 3 year old both like these things! Both are boys. It's true that there isn't a lot to this package - you only get 25 pegs & 1 smallish peg board - so you can't build a whole lot but this is a great size for traveling. In fact, I took our set of pegs & peg board out of the package box, placed in a gallon size ziploc & currently have it with us on a 2 week trip. I wouldn't have paid much more than what I did ($13.18) for it though so hopefully they won't increase the price. I do plan to put a larger sets and some of the connector pieces on my boys' wish-list for birthdays & holidays so they can really experiment with building taller stacks & whatnot. These are the types of toys kids need - not the annoying battery filled, noisy, flashy, plasticly ones. So happy with this purchase!

we bought this toy for our grand daughter who is 18 month. She is younger then the target age group, but since the pegs are large and easily fit in her fists we went for it. We were looking for a toy that allows her to manipulate small items, that she has to pay attention to and sit still for a few minutes. We got it all in this toy. The colors are vibrant and the board it sturdy and can be wiped clean. our grand daughter was able to place the pegs right away and filled the board easily. We are now exploring other uses. She stacks them from two to ten pegs on top of each other and they make useful drum sticks. we color sort and learn to name the colors while stacking our/and counting. Unless you spend the time to sit and work with your child wait for the recommended age.

My 3 year old has to do speech therapy and this was one of the activities used to help him gain a longer attention span. He seemed to like it so much, we decided to buy one for our home. There's just so many learning opportunities with it: learning colors, counting, taking turns, stacking, etc. It's also a great, quiet activity for when I just need to keep his attention while I'm cooking or tending to his little brother or something else.We love it, and I just don't think you can go wrong with this toy! :)
