Skoolzy Learning Peg Board Montessori Toy for Kids - 9 Color Sorting

My 2 year old really enjoys this toy. Prior, he was trying to put marker ends together to create one long stick of markers. I rememberd my oldest kiddo had this peg toy at daycare years back for fine motor development. My 2 year old enjoys stacking them like a tower or taking all the pieces apart and sorting them into a bucket. These are also helpful for color recognition exercises. What I enjoy most is the pegs do stay together decently, but are not too difficult for my kiddo to pill apart on his own.

These pegs seem well made and easy enough for small hands to use. They would be a nice gift. The foam board seems very durable. Pegs are 2” tall and 1 1/4” in diameter. They are hollow so putting them to the mouth to blow through may be a possibility. The second picture shows this. As with all toys, parental guidance should be observed. But I think my daughter and 2YO granddaughter will be pleased.

I purchased this item for hand therapy for my husband following a stroke. He states that it is working well.

I purchased this set for my two-year-olds that love stacking, sorting colors and doing repetitive simple tasks right now. I love how this peg set has all the colors of the rainbow available and the colors are bright and appealing. I think they're a little too young for the pattern cards right now, but happy that we will have them as they get older. Their favorite thing to do with them is see how tall they can stack them in towers and color sort them into groups. This has been great for improving dexterity, balancing objects, and color/counting vocabulary. I took off one star for a few cons with this item. I wish it came with a simple carrying case. Even something similar to a small version of the see-through zipper cases sheets/comforters come in would be nice to make it nice for storing and travel because it's a good travel sized set. I would love to have a second board that is a little sturdier because the foam gets a little bit worked in after frequent use. I also had to lightly sand the sides of almost all the pegs because there was a little sharp bit on the edges where I assume it was broken from the mold because they were all the same. Too sharp for tiny fingers, but the light sanding took care of it easily. Lastly, I wish there was an even number of each color because when we color sort and count, 3 colors each have one less. Overall, my girls see past the cons and really love this toy.

I bought this for my child as a way to work on fine motor skills, but I was so impressed with how much this toy captivated her attention. She would work on building towers with it for 30-45 minutes at a time and it definitely helped her enhance her hand strength. Really cool toy!
