Also- all the sides are engaging for babies, but will obviously grow with the child. Right now, the favorite side is definitely the ball maze. Still, he loves to push the shapes in, if I hold them to the right spot. As he grows, he'll be able to pair the shapes himself. Plus there's some great discussions about color sorting and discussing the shapes (how many sides does a triangle have etc.) for as he grows. He can also push the wheel on the third side around now. Honestly, if I had one complaint it would be that the wheel is a bit boring. Not much to do. But he enjoys it, so that's what counts. The final side (which is not shown for some reason in the promotional pictures), is an animal maze. There are different animal heads that are different colors and you can move them along different wooden tracks to match them to different colors. Right now, my son can move them about to practice fine and gross motor skills. As he grows, we can work on color matching.
Usually I like my toys simple and classic --nothing too cutesy or cartoony-- so I wasn't anticipating liking the look of it, though I know Hape toys are always excellent quality. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail on this toy. The jumble you see on top is actually three different themed bead tracks: One is fish that appear to be jumping in and out of a pond. one is an earthworm that goes into the "ground" and back up again, and the last (my favorite) is bugs which fly into (and through) the mouth of the frog on top.
The balls are similarly not just balls, but they are designed to look like flower faces (and there is even a designated place to put the mallet when not in use!).
The shapes can all be stored in the cube, as it is designed to keep them from falling out once you put the shapes through the holes. (If the cube is jiggled too much they do fall out, though.)
The "bee hive" not only makes fun noise for little ones, but it can also be turned into a game by trying to get the bees into their hives by turning it faster or slower. I myself actually find that one fun!
The last side (which is not pictured) is a maze of sorts, with animal heads. Unlike other ones I've seen, this one seems to have a point-- you move the animal heads to the end of the maze in a specified color order, and move them back to their designated "homes".
Overall, I love the quality and attention to detail of this toy, and both my sons (almost one and almost three) love this.
