7 month old nephew loved this!

We bought this for our nephew over the holidays. He was seven months old at the time and just loved it. His parents had not given him many of the pricier developmental toys, and most of his toys seemed to be either cuddly stuffed animals or older plastic baby toys from a cousin. This toy seemed to fill a void and to hold his attention for quite a while. He seemed to love the visual stimulation, tactile sensations (the softness, the crinkle) and the sounds (the crinkle sound, the bell sound). He giggled a lot while playing with it, which seemed to be a good sign! It's a great toy and one we will certainly buy when we have a baby!

Simple but fun and educational toy

We got this toy very early, when my son was only a few months old. Now that he is over a year old, he has used different aspects of the toy over different stages. Earlier on he would just drop the shapes, but now he loves chasing the soft ball around, and opening and dumping the blocks from the box. It's easy to clean and just a nice, simple toy that allows for good imaginative play.

Good Starter for Sorting, but May Be Outgrown

We received one of these as a gift at birth, and our son is now a year old and busily sorting everything he can get his hands on., so we've seen him go through several stages with this toy.
