Gosling’s Favorites – ImagiPlay Rolling Snail Sorter

by Victoria H.

I’m very specific when it comes to purchasing toys for my son. I prefer toys that are natural, PVC free, phthalate free, and lead free. When I saw the ImagiPlay Rolling Snail Sorter on Franklin Goose I just had to have it for B. I thought he’d really like this toy but I didn’t know how much he would truly love it. When it first arrived B. played with the Snail Sorter for two straight hours! As a toddler, he doesn’t usually play with the same item for too long. I was in awe. On top of that, he wouldn’t go to sleep that night without the Snail Sorter. After he fell asleep for a while I put the toy away. He woke up, found the Rolling Snail Sorter, then went to back to sleep. I don’t think sleeping with a wooden toy would be very comfortable but apparently B. doesn’t mind.

So far, I haven’t seen a toy with more ways to play than the ImagiPlay Rolling Snail Sorter. First, B. pulls the toy around by itself without the shape sorter on it’s back. Second, he pulls it around with the shape sorter on top of the snail and listens to the blocks clack. Third, he takes off the snail shell and fits the shapes into the holes. And last, B. opens the shape sorter shell, takes the blocks out and then puts them back in again. He even uses the toy like a toy car by rolling the snail up the wall. B. has found so many ways to play with this toy. No wonder it keeps his attention!
