Hape Eggspressions Wooden Learning Toy with Illustrative Book

The kids love these cute little eggs and the story that goes along with it. They can play with the eggs separately as well. The book tells a story using each emotion (Happy, Excited, Sad, Angry, Shy, Afraid) and the kids find the egg with that emotion (and I also have them make the same face). The bases are a soft rubbery material and the eggs are very durable wood. The book is a thick board book, so it should hold up well to preschool use.

These are the cutest wooden eggs!!! The book is awful though. I mean awful. Like doesn't even make sense. The story line is lame. My kids are like, seriously. But the eggs are cute, which is what really matters. My kids like to switch the egg stands around and make up little stories about each egg.

I love this idea! Putting feelings on something physical and having a story to match. However, the grammar in this book is pretty awful. I'm pretty big on proper grammar even for toddlers because this is a fundamental stage. So.... If poor grammar makes you twitch I wouldn't recommend.

These are fantastic! Not only is it a cute set, but if you have a child with special needs, these eggs can be used for various purposes. Help them discover and understand their emotions and also use the eggs as part of occupational therapy! Doesn't come with an egg carton (the only thing that would make this set better) but these eggs fit perfectly in a regular egg carton. Eggs made from wood and are a nice quality

I purchased this on prime day at a discount, but just opened it today. If I had paid any more, I'd be upset. As is, I'm just irritated. The book is worthless. Besides being a very poor translation (continually using got instead of had), the book does not have relatable experiences for a toddler. The egg gets a kitten - relatable. Breaks a toy - relatable. Gets eaten by a dog? Farts in the elevator? The cat eats his fish? How about falling down in front of people for embarrassment? But aside from all that, the book doesn't even describe how the egg handles or responds to the emotions.I'll still use the eggs to have discussions with my daughter and I'm sure she'll love them. The eggs are cute. They sit in the stands just fine, but they don't stack as pictured.Overall, it's very disappointing. I have purchased several Hape products and been very pleased with quality and value. I hope the paint on the eggs holds up. If it does, I'll feel ok with my discounted purchase but can't recommend them at full price.

Bought this intending to read the book with my 2-yr old and practice identifying emotions. Couldn't even get through the book. Appears to be translated, and very poorly done. There are a lot of grammatical mistakes that impact the book's readability. The eggs alone aren't worth $30. If the book had been phenomenal, it might have been. Needless to say, I will be returning ASAP.

I got these on sale for about $13 and am very happy with this purchase. My husband is a counselor and does a lot of play therapy and that is the main reason we purchased these. We also have a two year old at home who got to play with them before they get sent to the counseling office. I love the concept of these eggs with the stands. They are great for talking about emotions and colors, and the stands are a lot of fun for my little one to practice some motor skills. The book is pretty disappointing, but we didn’t get these for the book. I am not sure if I would say they are worth $25 to an average person. My husband probably would have still purchased them for his office but without a reason like that, I don’t think I would have spend $25 on these. I am wishing we had gotten a second set for our home while they were on sale though! I have attached pictures of the whole book.

Bought this for my three year old son who is dealing with a lot of feelings after his brother was born. He absolutely LOVES these eggs. The story itself isn't great but the eggs for us have been worth their weight in gold. Sometimes he will grab an egg and say sad egg... I'm sad too. It really helps to get him to open up about his feelings so we can deal with them and respond to them. These are very well made as well.
