I have had these bean bags for 3.5 years now. I purchased them initially to work on sensory integration activities with my son, who has a whole bunch of things going on with him including a sensory processing disorder and global developmental delays, and I thought it was really great that they come in shapes and colors, with the names of the shapes written on them because it would allow me to use them for multiple teaching and therapy targets. Right now we're using this for throwing bean bags in a basket while taking turns. These are durable as can be. My son, who is heavily into chewing on things, still chews on these. Can get an entire one in his mouth even (he's 5, and a bit big for his age). I haven't had a single seam come undone on these. Not a single one. They are still in great shape, and I love how versatile these are as a teaching tool. In the beginning I would use them for other things too, like putting them on my head to try and engage him in eye contact, or juggling them to try and get him interested in grabbing one and playing with me. I am such a lousy juggler by the way...3.5 years with these bags and I can still only juggle two of them at the same time, juggling just is so not my thing. But it really is a cool feature to have these in shapes and colors to for "give me..." targets. You can really work on a lot of things with the same activity that way. So, for epic durability and multi faceted usefulness, these are a 5 star product.

These are pretty good quality and my kids absolutely love them. They are good for beginning counting, shapes, colors, and many other educational games that a parent or teacher can come up with. Obviously kids like to toss things around so bean bags are always going to be fun! The price at the time I bought it was lower than me trying to make them (not all fabric colors are kept in stock at the local store, either). My kids have never put things into their mouths so I'm not sure if they would withstand that. If you have little ones that might put things in their mouths, I would just suggest double checking the shapes to make sure no damage was done by sharp little teeth.

We got these for our toddler son for Christmas. He really likes them a lot, and they're educational for him as well. They are well built, the colors are nice, they hold up well under a busy two-year-old, and come in a nifty bag to put them all away in. With this set he is able to learn both his colors and his shapes - and one day maybe to read the word of the shape. (It would have been neat if they would have embroidered the color on them as well, but that's in another set so they can sell those separately.) It was a good price, not a great price, I'm sure I could have made them a lot cheaper, but I wasn't feeling creative around Christmas. But I am glad we got them for him. He's learning from them and he enjoys playing with them and throwing them at his sisters. So, if he's happy. I'm happy.

These are great! Look fun and inviting they are so soft. Very durable material. Easy to use with little ones preschool age to adolescent even adults on the spectrum could learn with them. Fits in the palm of my hand. An affordable gift for kids for learning and development.

If I could give these more than five stars I would I got them for my 2-year-old to wear in shapes she loves stars and hearts and anything being bad / weighted I highly recommend these! We absolutely love them and my daughter played with them for hours still carries around the star.

Well, I really wanted to give this toy an all star review as it just makes sooo much sense. Kids LOVE bean bags and kids this age learn so much from play - it was a good pairing of fun and education. However, when I received the toy, I noticed the bean bags were a bit flat. I guess I would have liked if there was a bit more filling. On a good note, my 5 year old and I throw them back and forth to each other and say the name when we catch it. My 2 year old loves playing hide and seek games with them around her room, and we work on colors. So those of you with more than one kid, its really nice to know that it works for a few age groups. And if you think my games were lame, lol, then they were kind enough to add a list of games for the less imaginative ;-) As for durability, it was a well made bean bag, it seems to have a lining of some sort that would stop the beans from seeping out, also they get tossed pretty hard! And they really seem to be holding up well! And I love the little drawstring bag it comes in, nice to have a place to keep it! Great bonus. Oh well, I guess there is no such thing as a perfect toy! I just would've given it 5 stars if the bag was filled a bit more.

My kids love these. I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old. My 2 year old doesn't know his shapes and is colors (very well) and we got these to help him out. He can recognize most of the colors and some of the shapes and we've only been working on it for a month! For some reason flash cards didn't work. Seems like my little guy is a textile learner! My 4 year old already knows all her colors and shapes but uses these to spell the shapes. She almost has them all memorized. She is very creative and lays them out in different ways to create chairs, rocket ships, houses...you name it. It's fun to watch them play with these. So happy with this purchase.

Love love love these!! They are well made and my toddler class loves them. Great introduction to shapes. However the box says there are 10 bean bags, when in fact there are only 8. I think it is a typo due to it being exactly as pictured, but would like the whole thing more if there were a diamond shape and a heart shape as well.

Nos encantaron son súper bonitas y muy didácticas como aprendizaje sensorial y para distinguir y aprender las figuras geométricas

Although the box suggests this is for 3 years and up, my granddaughter at 18 months is having great fun matching shapes and naming colours. The bean bags are well made and the bag for storage is very easy for her to use when cleaning up.

Muy practicos y faciles de lavar, de igual manera son muy resistentes.

Love these bean bags for learning about shapes! Versatile for different ways to explain shapes through play! Great for little hands, shapes are exactly how pictured!

Love the different teaching skills my kids can be taught with these durable, colorful beanbags shapes.
