Skoolzy Peg Board Set - Montessori Toys for 2 Year Old - 33 Pc Plastic Peg Board for Kids - Occupational Therapy Toys with Pegs, Dice, Lacing String & Storage Bag

I first heard about this peg board set from my sister-in-law who is using it for her two-year-old son and really liked it so I ordered it for my three-year-old twins. My kids got this for Christmas and it has been one of their favorite toys so far! Here is what is included in the set: 1- 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" x 1/4" foam peg board. The description says the boards are assorted colors and we received an orange one. It has a total of 25 evenly-spaced holes where you can insert the pegs. 30 pegs in 6 different colors (5 each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple). They are each about 2" tall and about 1 1/2" in diameter with a hole in the top so you can insert a peg. The pegs are made of a hard plastic material. 1 drawstring bag for storing and carrying around the board and pegs. It is made of a nice cloth material that would be easy to wash if it gets dirty. When we first opened the set, the holes were a bit tight but all it took was keeping the pegs in the board overnight and the holes had loosened up enough so my kids could easily put the pegs in the holes themselves. You can use this on carpet and hard, flat surfaces and it will work well. There are so many fun possibilities for this set which will help with fine motor skills! Kids can practice counting, naming colors, stacking (we've been able to stack about 10-12 pegs before the tower falls over), and grasping small objects and placing them in the holes, just to name a few. I can already tell that my kids' fine motor skills are improving even within the short amount of time we've been using this and I definitely see us using this for many years to come. This peg board set is a wonderful idea for anyone whose child needs some more work with fine motor skills or just to use as a fun, educational toy. Even I enjoy using it with my kids so it would probably be enjoyable for people of all ages. I feel it is priced fairly reasonably and I really like the great quality that we received with this set. My kids and I are very happy with this toy and I would highly recommend it to anyone with young children!

Great learning toy for little hands Perfect. Nice n sturdy.

This educational toy came just as described. The pegs were all there, plus one extra yellow. The foam board was in perfect condition and, despite being foam, was very sturdy feeling. There are 6 colors of pegs: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and their are 5 of each color. The board has 25 holes in a 5x5 pattern, so you cannot technically have all the pegs in the holes at the same time. I've noticed this actually forces my daughter to become more creative and deliberate in her placing of the pegs in order to stack them, or choose carefully which ones would be left out. After allowing it to sit overnight with the pegs in the board, it was easy for my two kids to play with. My 3yo enjoyed poking the pegs out from behind, and she really liked the challenge of the pattern cards, which were her first experience with patterns. My 15mo daughter was able to play with it as well. She was able to both put the pegs in the board, and stack them. I was impressed with the pegs, and ink usually not impressed with plastic toys (we choose natural materials usually). They stacked together with just enough pressure that they don't fall apart easily, but even my 15mo old could pull them apart without them flying. The email with the patterns came before my order even arrived, and the pattern printables came out nicely when printed on cardstock. Lastly, the board and the pegs fit snugly in their accompanying bag, not too much though. If you push the board to the bottom of the bag, you can still close the drawstring. It is difficult removing it, but I make sure I do it for my girls to avoid the frustration of pegs flying everywhere. I'm very pleased with this toy and I think it makes a great addition to our Montessori shelves, and our quiet bag for church/restaurants/car rides. Also, as noted in my title, make sure you don't let your child see it when it first arrives. The disappointment will be huge when they realize it has to sit overnight before they can play with it. And if you are having trouble at all with the pegs not fitting in the board, set it out in the sun until it's warm and then firmly put all the pegs into it. Allow it to sit and cool overnight, and it should be perfect.

He likes to stack and play and found this toy useful

This peg board set was purchased for my 1 yr old. I wasn't sure if he was old enough to play with the pegs and board but I left the pieces on the floor and he figured out pretty quickly how to pieces the pegs together. I had to help him stick the first peg in the board though but once I did, he also figured out how to stack the pegs to form a tower. I really like the bright colours of the pegs - they seem to also catch his eye. I also appreciate the activity cards in the e-doc that give ideas on how to play and learn with this peg board set. A few things that might be improved: - while i really like that the peg board set came with the orange cloth bag to store the pegs, unfortunately it is not big enough to contain the peg board AND close it. The peg board does fit in but it's exactly the same size as the bag so the drawstring doesn't have enough room to close shut. I have to keep the peg board outside the bag so that my son does not empty the bag of pegs every time he brings the toy out from the shelf to play with. - The draw strings on the bag may be a strangulation hazard for younger kids -- as with any toy, keep an eye on your child while playing. I caught my son putting the strings of the bag around his neck like a necklace and getting all caught up with all the strings. i wasn't entirely comfortable with him playing with the bag in this way so i decided to store the pegs in a plastic food container until he is old enough to use the drawstring bag without putting the strings around his neck. - the pegs don't stay together once they are pieced together - I'm not sure if this was intentional or not. I noticed that my son will start to stick the pegs on the board but then they will fall apart after he stacks 3 vertically. It's too bad that they are not a little more sticky and require a bit of force to pull them apart. Otherwise, my son seems to really enjoy this toy and I'm looking forward to going through the activities with him as he gets older.

I bought this pegboard set for my 19 mo old after reading all the wonderful reviews and thought this would be a great way for my son to learn his colors. The package arrived quickly with Prime. It comes with a small washable fabric bag to carry the board and pegs inside (which is great because it has 2 draw strings on the side that can easily allow this to be worn as a back back). 30 pegs that are large enough for a toddler to hold onto easily. The peg board is a soft foam so the pegs aren't so hard to push into it, even for a toddler. The board isn't chew proof though, as you can see in my picture (we have a kitten, so the board has a few chew marks on it. otherwise, the board is holding up well). My son likes to stack the pegs and then pull them all apart. Right now he likes pulling them all off the board more than he does putting them back on, but I guess it's all in fun. These are easy to teach counting, colors (bright colored pegs) and motor skills. I'm sure this set will be around for quite a long time as my son grows up, he will be able to continue playing with the pegs. This would also make a great gift. I'd highly recommend this set.

I got this set for my 2 year old, she just barely turned 2 less than a month ago. She loves educational toys and loves learning! It seemed like maybe this was the leading brand in toy peg boards and the others were all knock-offs/generics. So I paid the higher price tag for this set. I also liked the string for lacing, despite obviously needing to be extra careful with both the lace and the bag's strings. Here's the BUT part. The peg's quality is just "meh," not that impressive. In my personal opinion, the plastic seems as if it could break easily. The foam seems okay, the lace for lacing is like a normal shoelace, it's just the pegs I'm not jazzed about. I just expected them to be a nice durable plastic. At the time of purchase there were other brands that were more affordable and now I'm wondering if they would've been just as good? We're keeping this set, I'm a busy Mama and my LO loves playing with this. I love how versatile it is that she can stack the pegs into little peg towers, she can color sort, count, play a game with the dice, practice lacing, etc. It's really just the poor quality of the pegs that I don't like, lol. The first day i got this and played with my daughter it kept her attention for 30-40 minutes, which for her is amazing. Now it only keeps her attention for about 10-15 minutes but still more than some toys.

We bought this for our granddaughter's 2nd birthday, and she absolutely loves it! We weren't able to get any really good pictures of her playing with the Peg Board Set which is unfortunate. When we were getting ready to leave and come back home from her birthday weekend, she was in the living room stacking the pegs on top of one another to see how tall of a tower she could build. She had one tower eight pegs high, and another ten pegs high. She wanted to take it to church with her, but her Mommy was able to explain that she couldn't take it to church, but that they would play with it when they got home, and she was very happy with that response. I believe our granddaughter will enjoy the Peg Board Set for many years to come, and we are so glad we purchased it for her. Also, we were very pleased with the bag that the Peg Board Set came in. The cloth bag appears to be heavy duty and our granddaughter is able to put the peg board and pegs in it with no frustration at all. We were also happy that it came with the storage bag so the peg board and pegs won't be laying all over our son and daughter-in-law's house. Our granddaughter puts each toy away once she has finished playing with it, and she really enjoys closing the bag up once she has put everything away. We think this is a great gift for any child, and it teaches them colors, as well as using their motor skills. Skoolzy, you did a great job when you designed and created this toy!

Only comes with pegs and foam board. There was no bag, no thread, no colour die. Not worth the money
