Good for older kids too!
I bought this toy when my daughter was a year old and she wasn't the least bit interested in it. If I wrote the review then, it would have been a mediorce one at best. I'm glad I waited. Once she was about two and a half, she began taking interest in the toy, pressing all the letters of the alphabet and singing the a-b-c song. She's three and a half now and still enjoys using it. She especially likes the setting with the songs. She presses the letter buttons and sings the words to the tunes she hears.
Some other good things about it: The toy is versatile. It can spin in it's holder, or be taken off and rolled around on the floor. There a few different settings, one that just says the letters, and another that plays tunes that start with that letter. On soft mode, it's a reasonable volume. There's also a band of red light that blinks on and off when a tune plays. It's very durable. It's been played with constantly for over a year and still looks brand new.
Though it's marketed to infants, toddlers would enjoy this toy too. I can't think of anything bad to say about it (except that loud mode is very loud) and would recommend it to parents with young children.
Fun and educational...
so what more could you want? I put this on my son's booster seat tray in its stand and even at 5 months he loves to spin it.
His grandfather thinks it is the best toy because of the fact that when the individual letters are pressed it says the letter or phonetically sounds them out depending on the mode its in. My son's grandmother found it on clearance for $7.00 and at that price I would say that it was a steal.
Good toy for tots!
My 10 month old loves this. It's not the best ABC toy out there, but it's different and that keeps her interest. I prefer the Alphabet Pal, but this is a good toy too.
