I, myself use this toy during my childhood days. My parents told me to match the shaped pieces in different holes. The shaped pieces were all stored in a 16.5cm diameter circular shape. Some of the people said that this toy is quite boring but did you know that Shape-o-Toy has several benefits that you should know about.



1. Cognitive Development

Shape-o-Toy help children construct their own thought process by remembering the shaped pieces and those holes in the circle. This enhances the perception of the child who used to play this kind of stuff.



2. Mathematical Reasoning

Shape-o-Toy enhances a child’s mathematical reasoning wherein he or she can figure out how many sides of the shaped pieces have. Once he or he counted the sides from the hole, he or she will now create a presumption that is the correct hole to store the shaped piece.



3. Decision Making

Shape-o-Toy enhances a child’s perception on how to decide for the shaped pieces to be stored on these holes. This skill totally strengthens a child’s memory and disposition in life as he or she enters the academe.



4. Mental Alertness

Shape-o-Toy harnesses your child’s brainpower and expects a more impulsive response from them as you are challenging them by using a time clock. This initiates mental sharpness and responsiveness to your child.


With these benefits of playing this toy, parents will enjoy playing with your child. Being a parent, you should guide your children on how to use it and meet the goals to your children to be more mentally active and strengthen their own perception.
