Easy to play with

My students love these

My daughter plays with these nonstop! She is one but not too young to open and close the jar, pack the turtles up and unpack them again, put the baby turtles in the momma turtles bellies, group the mommas & babies separately...endless entertainment! We have not reached the point of appreciating the numbers, but this set is so versatile and sturdy that she will be playing with it for years. I received this product as part of an incentivized review program.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The toddlers in my classroom loved this product. They were so excited playing with the turtles matching colors and shapes they didn't realize they were learning while they were playing. They had fun putting the baby turtles inside the mommy turtles which improved their motor skills.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two children- nearly 2 and 4.5. We recently received these turtles. I wasn't sure which age would work best with them. Would they be too hard for my youngest? Too easy for my oldest? Turns out- they're great for both ages. My younger son liked matching the colors. While he can't name the colors yet he was able to pair up the baby, mother's body, and mother's shell that were the same color. As he did this I talked to him about the colors. He was repeating them after me. My older son enjoyed showing off his number skills with the turtles. He named each number and we talked about the shape that had that number of sides. He wasn't too interested in the colors since that's a skill he mastered awhile back. Both boys liked making "silly turtles" by mixing up the shells and bodies. They also made a turtle parade and played together to march the parade around the room. The toy was interactive and able to keep them both interested in much different way.

Perfect for my Autistic students

These turtles are the cutiest thing I love the number learning part of it. They can regonize the number and also learn to count the matching shapes on the turtles back. The kids favorite part is putting the turtles in the big turtles back like they are hiding.
