 Looks pretty but does not provide much play and fun for my baby June 30, 2008

This is a nicely done and durable toy that provides little opportunity and creativity for play and does not interest my baby at all. The only thing it does, is bending according to the strings and bouncing back into its original shape. I bought it for my baby when she was six months old and now, two months later, she has maybe played a total of 2 hours with it. Save your money and invest it in something more useful, e.g. wooden building blocks.
 Good Toy. June 26, 2008

This does have some entertainment value, but it isn't holding my baby's attention for long, but then at 10 months nothing much does! He likes to sit shaking it to hear the chiming sound and then will put it down after a minute or so to play with something else. He does go back to it though often during play and the gentle sound does make him giggle! It is a toy that I will be taking with me on a plane trip as the sound level is minimal and so shouldn't upset the other passengers during the day. Probably not a good choice for a nighttime flight though. It seems to be well made but only time will tell, like most things it has already spent some time in his mouth and his 6 teeth have yet to really have an impact.
Apart from the colours I really can't see that it has much educational value but at 10 months that doesn't matter as much as entertainment. A good toy for the money.
 Spend your money some where else. June 26, 2008

I bought this toy for my son at 5 months (now 9 months), and he never really played with it. He was thrilled for about a minute, and then put it down and has not played with it again. I have also given this toy to other babies visting us and they have done the same thing. I bought it because I saw it in the Montessori catalog, and thought it would really help him learn shapes, textures, etc., but I am disappointed, and would not recommend buying this toy. It is a waste of your money.
Beware Poor Quality June 23, 2008

I am really, really disappointed and unhappy - with this toy and with Amazon. I ordered this toy about 7 weeks ago and received it 6 weeks ago. My now 6-month old son has played with it - gently, I might add. And it broke this morning ... "snap!" went one of the flexible black bands, without any warning at all. The toy is broken and part of the educational appeal - the "skwishiness" - is gone.
Add to that the fact that Amazon will not in any way refund or exchange the product because it's just beyond the 30-day mark, and I'm one unhappy shopper.
The worst part is that this was our whole family's favorite toy, so we are of course compelled to buy another.
Recommended Age May be Off June 2, 2008

I purchased this product for my baby based on the great reviews. The product is beautiful but it doesn't do much (you can pull the strings or have the balls roll from one side of the bar to the other). I gave this toy to my son at around 10 months and it never really interested him. The recommended age for this toy is 12 months and above. It seems from other the reviews that 4 months seems to be a good age for this toy. Maybe the recommended age is off?
