Review of Rubbabu 3D Animal Shape Sorter

The Rubbabu 3D animal shape sorter is such a unique and fun puzzle! I loved the squishy, velvety softness of the pieces and the puzzle tray. While we do have several wooden puzzles that I love, this was a nice addition to our puzzle collection as it offers a different sensory experience. Another aspect I loved about this puzzle is that it is soft, so if your little one is in the throwing phase, it won’t hurt if a puzzle piece does end up being thrown.

Miss 7 (who enjoyed the puzzle just a much as Miss 18 months) also pointed out that the puzzle pieces sit a bit above the puzzle tray, which makes it easy to remove the pieces. The flexibility of the pieces also helps in removing and replacing the pieces.

The Rubbabu 3D animal shape sorter puzzle is handmade from natural rubber foam, is anti-microbial, dust-mite resistant, mildew resistant, hypo-allergenic, and flame resistant.

Do you have children between the ages of 8 and 24 months (or older)? If so, we highly recommend this 3D shape sorter. Not only is it a fun activity for little ones (and their older siblings and parents) but it is also great for practicing colors and animal shapes.
