Skoolzy Peg Board Set - Montessori Toys for 2 Year Old - 33 Pc Peg Board for Kids - Occupational Therapy Toys with Pegs, Dice, Lacing String & Storage Bag - Montessori Toys for 2+ Year Old

I first heard about this peg board set from my sister-in-law who is using it for her two-year-old son and really liked it so I ordered it for my three-year-old twins. My kids got this for Christmas and it has been one of their favorite toys so far! Here is what is included in the set: 1- 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" x 1/4" foam peg board. The description says the boards are assorted colors and we received an orange one. It has a total of 25 evenly-spaced holes where you can insert the pegs. 30 pegs in 6 different colors (5 each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple). They are each about 2" tall and about 1 1/2" in diameter with a hole in the top so you can insert a peg. The pegs are made of a hard plastic material. 1 drawstring bag for storing and carrying around the board and pegs. It is made of a nice cloth material that would be easy to wash if it gets dirty. When we first opened the set, the holes were a bit tight but all it took was keeping the pegs in the board overnight and the holes had loosened up enough so my kids could easily put the pegs in the holes themselves. You can use this on carpet and hard, flat surfaces and it will work well. There are so many fun possibilities for this set which will help with fine motor skills! Kids can practice counting, naming colors, stacking (we've been able to stack about 10-12 pegs before the tower falls over), and grasping small objects and placing them in the holes, just to name a few. I can already tell that my kids' fine motor skills are improving even within the short amount of time we've been using this and I definitely see us using this for many years to come. This peg board set is a wonderful idea for anyone whose child needs some more work with fine motor skills or just to use as a fun, educational toy. Even I enjoy using it with my kids so it would probably be enjoyable for people of all ages. I feel it is priced fairly reasonably and I really like the great quality that we received with this set. My kids and I are very happy with this toy and I would highly recommend it to anyone with young children!

Bought this for my mother who is nursing home with dementia. She uses a great deal as does other residents.

Super fun and for many ages. Easy for them To put together and build. Had many pieces and colors. Great price.

Overall this is a good toy, with caveats. It is attractive and has clear educational value. However, it doesn't come ready to use "out of the box." You have to proof the pegs and condition the foam board before giving it to a child. Critiques: 1. There is a minor safety hazard related to fabrication. Most of the plastic pegs have barbs ranging from small to quite prominent (see photo). They are sharp and can hurt when grasping the pegs. In my opinion, the barbs need to be filed down or shaved off to prevent scratching and poking. Of the 30 pegs I received, 22 needed to be proofed for safety. 2. Another consideration if you plan to give this as a gift: The foam board has to be conditioned, which means you have to keep the pegs in the holes overnight. Otherwise, the holes are too small for the child to place in pegs. 3. It is hard to distinguish the purple from the blue pegs because they are so dark. I wish one or both were lighter in shade so that they were more distinguishable. Positive notes: 1. The carry bag is convenient and fun. My child really likes playing with it: he puts the pieces in and takes them out. He enjoys wearing the carry bag like a backpack for an easy take-along. 2. The downloadable peg board activity guide helps the parent and child get more out of the toy. It includes good learning activities. You receive it via email as a PDF file after purchase. 3. The pegs stack well and seem to be a good size for little hands. Hope this was helpful!

Durable. My 4 year old has had them for a few years now and she still loves playing around with them. She gets very creative with them. She loves the many different colours. It's worth purchasing for little kids.

My toddler loved stacking the pegs and creating patterns with the colors. It was an excellent toy for teaching fine motor skills. The pegs were high quality and the board was good enough.

Each day these could be umbrellas or flowers, or skyscrapers in a city. Sometimes we are just counting, sometimes sorting. It's fascinating how much play can be derived from these, despite the only variety being the color. Its a very simple function, stacking one "tee" into another while the soft foam base flexes if they get too tall. The toy provides many lessons, and seems to be a persisting interest. This was a bit more than it really could be, and somehow is still great value.

I got this set for my 2 year old, she just barely turned 2 less than a month ago. She loves educational toys and loves learning! It seemed like maybe this was the leading brand in toy peg boards and the others were all knock-offs/generics. So I paid the higher price tag for this set. I also liked the string for lacing, despite obviously needing to be extra careful with both the lace and the bag's strings. Here's the BUT part. The peg's quality is just "meh," not that impressive. In my personal opinion, the plastic seems as if it could break easily. The foam seems okay, the lace for lacing is like a normal shoelace, it's just the pegs I'm not jazzed about. I just expected them to be a nice durable plastic. At the time of purchase there were other brands that were more affordable and now I'm wondering if they would've been just as good? We're keeping this set, I'm a busy Mama and my LO loves playing with this. I love how versatile it is that she can stack the pegs into little peg towers, she can color sort, count, play a game with the dice, practice lacing, etc. It's really just the poor quality of the pegs that I don't like, lol. The first day i got this and played with my daughter it kept her attention for 30-40 minutes, which for her is amazing. Now it only keeps her attention for about 10-15 minutes but still more than some toys.
