How about using the square for the number 4 and the pentagon for the number 5? They could also use the circle for number 1 and a crescent or semi-circle for the numbner 2.
The worst thing about this toy and their clock is that some of the numbers match the number of sides and some don’t.

As I have played with this toy/puzzle over time, I have developed some criticisms:
1) All of the shapes fit onto all of the pegs. It would be nice if the center cut-out was the same as the shape and the peg was that shape too. My daughter really likes the puzzle-aspect of toys and she seems to not have as much interest in this one because it is so easy to put the shapes on the pegs.
2) There are 3 triangles, 4 squares, and 5 pentagons. The number of objects also corresponds to the number of sides on each object, but there are 2 rectangles (4-sided figure) and 1 circle (no sides) and this doesn’t make sense.
Sure, my daughter and I can talk about the names of the shapes and the colors. Other than that the toy is not very engaging. It’s durable and wooden, but otherwise lacking interest.

I bought this on Amazon for my 19-month old son this past Christmas. He loves taking the blocks off, putting them in color-coordinated piles, then restacking them on the columns. Definitely worth the price!

Love that this is a multipurpose toy. It was great for my toddler when she was into all that shape and color learning, sorting/stacking and then into counting. She was most interested in it between 15-24 months. It’s very durable and never sustained the slightest bit of damage in that time.

We loves this toy. I bought it for my son when 15 months old and he loved it and played with it for about 6 months. This toy is great for most 18 month olds and older. He used to for stacking, sorting, counting, learning shapes, and more. This is one of the best $10 toys you will ever find! That said, if your child knows their shapes, colors, and can count to 15 don’t bother as once he mastered that he was done with this toy. This thing is pretty durable, the only marks ours had on it was teeth marks from when one of the dogs thought the triangle would make a good chew toy.
