I bought this almost 4 years ago and it continues to be a hit in my home. My daughter played with it initially by pulling out the shapes and putting them in. And it’s changed and shifted how she engages with it every time I pull it out for a new toy rotation. She’s now 4.5 and I have a 2 year old son. Pulled it out a few days ago, another hit. It’s also an immediate hit with all the kids that come over without fail.It’s great quality, still nothing broken. This toy deserved a review.

This toy was a hit at Christmas! 14 month-old loved putting the blocks thru the holes and playing with the googly eyes. Adults could hardly leave it alone. Well constructed wooden toy.

I bought this because I was looking for a shape sorter and a rolling wheel. Plus the walking snail will come in handy when my baby is ready for it. A clever multifunctional toy. The quality of the toy I receive is great, I have no complaints.

My kiddo (1 year) loves to pull this around, extremely high quality. The eyes bobble back and forth, which stops her from trying to get the door stopper on the bathroom. Has 3 shapes, plus secures the shapes in shape sorted. Many skills to learn with this.

I bought this for my friend's son, he was 16 months old at the time. He loved it straightaway, the snail's eyes were very interesting to him - they can be turned around in every direction. The paint is good quality and the snail can be easily drawn on the floor without any issues. I bought it for him because he's a very active little boy and he really enjoyed playing with it, drawing it up and down the house. He's a bit too young for the colour-coded part but I'm sure he'll like it later on.He smashed the snail to the ground a few times and still, no breaks and the paint wasn't chipping off.Overall very good quality and versatile toy, especially for toddlers who are physically more active!

Bought this for my nephew for Christmas last year. He absolutely adores it and plays with it all the time.When he was younger, he enjoyed pushing the snail around and making the tail wag, and rolling the shell on the floor (with the blocks inside, it makes a very loud, satisfying 'clack-clack-clack' as it rolls). Now he is fully engaged in the matching game aspect. I suspect the next stage is using it as a pull toy on his toddler adventures around the house.I was also very impressed with the build quality of this toy. The fit and finish are excellent and the wood is high-quality with no rough edges. The colors are bright and attractive.

Ottimo prodotto della Hape, in legno colorato. E' composto da due pezzi: la lumachina con le ruote che può essere trascinata in giro dal bambino e la ruota multifunzione. Da sola funziona da scatola delle forme mentre se la si posiziona sul dorso della lumachina ruota quando questa viene trascinata e il bambino sente il rumore delle forme che si muovono. Davvero un gioco intelligente e utile. Spedizione puntuale.

My baby has just started walking and he enjoys pulling this toy along with him. The shape sorter is a bonus. It creates the shell of the snail and rotates when the toy is pulled. If the shapes are within the shape sorter when pulled, they create a clattering sound as the shapes tumble within the toy. The shape sorter often falls out of the toy when it's being pulled by my one year old. While playing with the toy my baby puts the eyes of the toy inside his mouth, and the entire eye fits inside his mouth. When I see him do that I stop him and remove it. I feel concerned that he might be able to chew it off or that the eyes might slide off the toy and pose a choking hazard. So far the eyes are intact and seem sturdy enough to not pop out. It's not a deal breaker and I'm happy with my purchase.

I bought this for my nephew and he loves it! He drags the 'shell' shape sorter around with him everywhere and loves the sound it makes when he pulls it across the floor. My daughter has the turtle version of this, but I think the snail better because: 1) the shapes (3) are longer so they don't fall out of it's 'shell,' 2) the tail moves when you pull it across the floor, 3) toddlers are fascinated by the springy eyes. The downfall is that there are only 3 shapes as opposed to 5 with the turtle and the shapes are harder to get out. With both toys, I just wished there was a large bead attached to the end of the string so it's easier for toddlers to pick up and hold on to. Overall it's a fantastic toy for a toddler.

Such a cute toy! Bright colors, sturdy design, lots of fun ways to play (put the pieces in and out, pull the toy along)-- the tail moves up and down and the circle spins as it moves, which is absolutely adorable. I took off a star for two reasons-- 1) the circle that holds the shapes is a little hard to align correctly on the base so that it will spin as you pull it, which has reduced my older child (4 years old) to frustrated tears a couple times) and 2) there are only 3 shapes to put into the shape sorter, which I supposed I should have realized when I bought it, so I guess that is my fault-- I wanted a little more variety. The side where you remove the shapes makes it pretty easy to take the shapes in and out instead of putting them through the shaped holes, so parents might want to be aware of that-- I don't mind it because my 12 month old finds that a pretty engaging activity in itself-- "the easy side", my husband calls it. In all, it's a great toy that I would buy again, and I like it that it appeals to my older infant as well as my 4 year old.
