Summary: Surprised!
Comment: I didn't think much of when I first purchased this toy for my little baby girl who was about 7 months old. It's been more than 3 months since the purchase and this toy is still her favorite. I don't know what it is supposed to be but she loves it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome toy - my son's favorite
Comment: Short version:
PROS
1. songs are not annoying! (and if you do get annoyed, you can change to music only mode so there's no more singing)
2. introduces languages, alphabet, counting, colors, cause and effect, you name it
3. will keep your baby's interest as he/she learns how to manipulate all the different components
4. after daily use for 4 months, we STILL haven't had to replace batteries!
CONS
1. my son has pulled it over on top of himself and that hurts
2. you may lose the little brightlings balls that come with it
Long Version:
We bought this toy for my son when he was just 4 or 5 months old. At first he could only bat at the little flowers on the side, but when he started sitting up he quickly learned to pull the handle to make the rainbow-colored disc spin. The song that plays is really cute too. Now he is 8 months old and he has learned to open and close the door, move the alphabet slider, push and pull the brightling characters (sometimes), and pull the colored ribbons. With each action there is a unique song or sound, which keeps it entertaining for him and keeps it from being annoying for my husband and I. I especially love how the door says "hello" and "good-bye" in english, spanish, french, german, and japanese....what a great way to introduce languages! This toy is truly awesome and keeps my son's attention for 5 to 20 minutes at a time (depending on his mood, lol)....he used to sit and play with it even longer, but he is learning to crawl now. The best part is that there is still more for him to discover, because he has not learned about putting the brightlings balls down the chute yet and he only sometimes by accident will push or pull the brightlings attached to the base, causing them to sing. We will definitely be keeping this toy for the next baby.
Customer Rating: Summary: Love it
Comment: I bought this for my son last year solely based on the reviews it already had and let me tell you I am glad I did. This toy has helped my son with his colors and alphabet. It's so cute watching my kids play with it and sing along with the songs. I was pleasantly surprised with this toy.

Summary: What exactly is it's purpose?
Comment: I bought this toy based on all of the attention and good reviews it was receiving last Christmas. It was predicted to be one of the hottest toys for toddlers! I knew virtually nothing about it, but I was expecting to be impressed.
Out of the box, the toy looks unique and very interesting. However, upon sampling its capabilities, I'm not quite sure what the point is. Maybe the one we received was defective, but the slider for the ABC's does nothing but sing the ABC song, regardless of which letter it is on. My daughter has gotten a little enjoyment out of the toy--mostly from the strange sounds that the little creatures make. But, overall, it is largely ignored.
This toy simply doesn't seem to do much and offers very few educational benefits. However, it is very durable. My daughter has thrown it from the toy box on several occasions to get to a toy of greater interest, and it still works and looks like new.

Comment: My niece needs help on her motor skills and I wanted to get her a toy that when she pushed something, or moved something there would by some type of reaction...ie a sound, or light, or something moving. I found all of that with this toy. It really is perfect for her and keeps her occupied for hours! Not only that, my 3 year old nephew, who doesn't have special needs, loves it just as much. Thank you and keep up the good work!!
