The Bigjigs Animal Shape Sorter Lorry is a lovely wooden shape sorter for children 18 months +.  It has a dual function as once you have the animals on board it can be used as a pull along toy.

My son was really excited to open this up. He is only just 2, so this sort of toy is perfect for his age. The packaging showed it clearly and even the box was exciting to him! I was surprised at how big it was, it is a good size (28cm length) and is quite sturdy. There are 10 different animals ranging from farm animals to pets, to elephants and giraffes. My son’s favourite was the crocodile, snap, snap, snap!

He played with this for nearly an hour after he got it out, which is a really long time in a 2 year olds world. It really did capture his imagination, the animals talked to each other, He loaded them on and closed the rear tail gate, then he wandered off pulling it behind him.

There are a couple of niggling points I didn’t like, the front drivers cab of the lorry has a slit at the top of it just big enough for one of the shapes to get posted in and get stuck. Once my 2 year old had found this out it was his favourite thing to do. The shapes themselves, whilst a great variety of animals and brightly coloured are thin enough to be posted through any hole. Again once my 2 year old figured this out. He took great pleasure in posting things through the wrong holes. Mummy the pig fits in the elephant! Whilst he obviously is learning the animals and developing his coordination, it is really annoying!

Priced at £13.99, it is great value for money for a sturdy multifunctional wooden toy.
