Best gift of the year Jan 25, 2008
We bought this product for our 16 month old granddaughter and it was the absolute hit of the year. Not only does she love opening and closing them and hiding the animals inside, but all her playmates rush to grab them when they come to visit. She knows what the animals are, and makes the sounds each time she pulls one out.
We earned top grandparents points for this one!
Counting and Sorting Farm Jan 02, 2008
I bought this gift for my 2 year old niece. It's very educational and fun to play with. It keeps her busy for hours. I would recommend it.

 A great concept Oct 05, 2007
The Counting and Sorting Farm is a great concept. However, the material it is made of is hard for stacking the "cups", especially for very young children. The young children love putting the items in and out of each container but, like most toys, to get the best "learning" out of the toy, it requires one on one with an adult or older child. You can use this toy in a variety of ways, however. Language/vocab development, positional words, matching, of course counting/sorting. Having the "cups" different sizes allow for some problem solving to take place. (For example, there are 4 cows and they won't all fit into the sheep container so it must not be the correct container.) It helps with the development of fine motor skills as well as object permanence with the younger children. With older children you can introduce the concept of even and odd, while counting. I personally would put the suggested age at about 18 months. Depending on a preschooler's development, you may find that it doesn't hold their interest or challenge them because the numbers only go up to 4. In general, this toy has potential.

Great starting at 12 months! Feb 23, 2006
Our daughter chose this toy for herself at the store when she saw the chicken. It is great fun and easy to take with you in the car or to a restaurant. Be forewarned though...she has lost the sheep and has requested that they be replaced!

Great toy for farm, animal or counting lovers! Nov 04, 2005
My 21 month old daughter loves animals, farm animals (especially chickens) and loves to count. When I came accross this toy I knew that she would love it.
There are for main parts in varrying sizes. A large barn for 4 cows, a medium barn for 3 pigs, a small barn for 2 sheep and one nest with one chicken.
The numbers appear on the top and bottom of the barns (which are round soft cyllinders with flat tops and bottoms for stacking) or in the inside and bottom of the nest for the chicken. When you open the barn doors with the hook and loop closure the inside of the door shows what belongs inside, 4 cows etc. Then inside are the different numbers of animals belonging to that barn. They are soft little pillows great for chewing, tossing and squeezing. The animals are all very cute and loveable and the colors used are bright and stimulating.
This will be a toy that my daughter can play with for quite some time then will be a great toy to share with younger babies as well since it is made so safely.
If you have an animal lover or one who loves to count then this is a great toy to get them.
