The box snaps shut with some force quite easily; today, my one year old closed the box and got pinched badly enough to get a dark and clearly very painful bruise.
Additionally, it’s only fun if you start the shape for the child, since they (and my son is strong) find it very hard to get the shape past the sound-activation button, which pretty much kills the learning aspect.
The lights are nice, but not really very noticable when actually playing with the toy, and the sounds are just okay.
The best thing about the toy is the hammer, but there are plenty of hammer toys out there.
I initially put the toy away thinking I’d bring it out again when he gets a bit older, but I think I’m actually just going to get rid of it.

When my son received this for his first birthday recently, he took to it immediately, which is not a normal thing for him. It’s got fun shapes, sounds, lights, and a cool middle part that moves to either side of the open toolbox, and he just can’t get enough of it. There’s also the added amusement of watching him carry it around like a mini-handyman.

As each shape is hammered or shoved through the appropriate hole, a small button is pressed that plays a short tune to go with the flashing lights from the center section. Each of the shapes plays a different tune, so it’s not nearly as annoying as it might be otherwise.

WARNING: The middle piece is a bit heavy, and it seems that little fingers could get caught in the edges when it falls to either side, especially when it’s being fought over.

One big plus: this toy is easily transportable, as all the pieces (shapes and hammer) fit inside the toolbox and it snaps closed. It doesn’t fall open; in fact, it can be a bit difficult for little ones to open… but that makes it even better for traveling!
