Guidecraft 3D Feel & Find Icons - Shape and Tile Matching Game for Kids, Learning & Educational Toys

My older son had this same game, but I gave it away some time ago. He enjoyed it very much, although he didn't like the feel and find activity interesting, but played with it like if it was a puzzle, matching figures to the planks. I gave him only few of the pieces at the beginning, and then increased until he got all of the set. The game was a big hit from about when he was 18 months old until about 3 yo.Now, I got the game again for my youngest son, too. He is 16 months old now, and he already tries to find the matching pieces and seem to like it. The game seems to be the same good quality as the one we had before.I am not sure about playing it as feel and find, since some of the figures are quite hard to describe, and some of the animals might be hard to name even if you look at them. Maybe this is why it didn't go with my older son. On the other hand, the figures are nice and can stand on their side, so you can have some pretend play with them, too.

This "game" can be played several ways with several different ages. A first I brought it out for my 3 and 5 year old to just match and use as almost a puzzle. My three year old loves pulling it out and just getting the pieces to fit. It's a wonderful tactile experience.Recently I showed them how to actually pull out the tiles and then feel for a specific shape to match a tile. Then we did the opposite and they held the shape in their hand and found the tile they thought would match. I was shocked that my 3 year old could match just by feeling! They loved doing it and played several times.Yes, the game probably can't be played over and over again, but if you get this while they are young they can use it as a puzzle, then do the feel and find, then move on to just open play with the shapes. Thus lasting for several years. It is very gratifying for the kids and a perfect sensory experience.

Super, super cute toys, and really engaging. I had to split the wooden objects up into two different groups to rotate because there were so many (and some of them were so similar) so that my kid wasn't overwhelmed with choices at first. But as the kid gets older, I'll be able to change up the grouping or add in more to add complexity (e.g. small variations between cow, horse, etc.), and then at the highest level, use it as a stereognostic or mystery bag. Really, really well made and versatile.

It is a good game. My baby liked it. But there was a missed item !!!

I bought this toy for my daughter when she was 18 months old. She is now 2 1/2 and is still entertained by it! So are other children I babysit, which have ranged in age from 1-6 years old. I love that this toy is wooden and brightly colored, it encourages shape and color learning, memory skills and fine motor skill development. It is a favorite at our house and I plan to purchase others by the company. Even my 7 month old tries to grab for this toy when we have it out :)

My three year old seems to really like this toy. He can't figure out the items yet by feeling them inside the bag, but it's something we do together. He can easily put the shapes in the proper place. I think it's a toy you can grow with because when they get older they can try and find the items in the bag by themselves. It's a good quality toy and stores nicely in the bag provided.

My 3 year old (2.5 when she got it) loves this toy. It is a great, simple, easy and quick game to get out and play. She can do it by herself, with a friend, or with me. It is fairly simplistic for her, actually, but she enjoys that she can do it and it is easy. You can make it more challenging by challenging her to match up shapes by categories (color, living things vs. shapes, straight edges vs. curves, etc.). The toy seems to be high quality and durable. The bag is great for keeping the pieces together. I recommend it for young kids who like to do puzzles, matching games, etc.

I have a 3 year old that has some sensory and motor issues, and this is a great activity for him. I can't say it is "fun" per se, but it is an important activity that we sit down and do for 10-15 minutes that benefits him greatly. The shapes are high quality, as is the bag. We don't use it as a 'feel and find" just yet, but he will grow in to that. This was definitely worth the money and is great for both typical preschoolers and those with delays.
