Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby’s First Blocks

If you are looking to buy baby a great Christmas present, the you will want to get the Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby’s First Blocks. This toy is an interactive learning aid. Babies learn to identify and match shapes.  This toy is suitable for children from 6 months to 3 years old.

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby’s First Blocks

The Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby’s First Blocks consists of ten brightly colored blocks.  Baby can either drop the blocks directly into the bucket or through the shape sorting lid. The shape-sorting lid teaches baby to match the shape of the block to the shape of  the opening in the bucket. The constant repetition of filling the bucket and starting over increases eye-hand coordination and matching the corresponding shape to the matching hole helps to develop other early motor and reasoning skills.

This is such an inexpensive, simple toy, yet it is hands down my 9 month old’s favorite toy! If he starts crawling away from us all we have to do is put the blocks back in the bucket and shake it around and he just has to come over and dump them all out. He is starting to get that the pieces go in the holes, but mostly he just crawls around holding either the yellow lid or a block in each hand. He also loves to put the blocks into the little “slide” made for balls in another toy we have.

Our son received this as a gift before he turned 1. Although he could not sort the blocks then, he started trying. It was amazing to watch him over the next year change the way he played with the toy. Initially he just played with the blocks, then threw them in the bucket, dumped them out again. He would also carry the bucket with blocks around by the handle. Later he was able to put in the round one, then another and within a short time all of them. He still likes playing with it. It was apparent that he had a sense of achievement after each new “accomplishment”. I highly recommend this toy.
