Chicco Toys Talking Farm

Chicco Toys Talking FarmI bought this for my one year old granddaughter for Christmas. It is a little too old for her. She did press the buttons but could not play the games. Now that she is 18 months she does press the buttons more and knows the names for the animals. This is a great toy to sit with the child and interact. It is durable and so far has not needed new batteries after 4 months. I would consider this a toy for a 2 year old.

I think it's important to note that this toy is in Spanish, but in proper Spanish from Spain. Many of the animals' names differ from more common Latin American names. Another more minor issue I have with this toy is the male voice that announces the names and instructions. It's very monotone and not "fun" to listen to.

We purchased this for our son Christmas 2004 -he was 18 months old then. He loved it right away and played with it EVERY DAY for 6 months. Travels kept him away from it over the summer, but since then, he still plays with it often, and has now mastered three of the (four) levels of games, in which the user listens to increasingly complex instructions and responds by finding an item or items. And now our daghter, soon to a be a year old, enjoys pressing the buttons and listening to the songs (which still inspire adorable little dances by her big brother).

The bilingual feature is great (we have it in German/English). Our son mastered 1 10 in both languages quickly, thanks to this toy. But don't tell him he was learning; to him it was just fun.

We bought this for our son when he was about 13 months. He loved pushing the buttons (numbers) and colored animals to get the toy to talk to him. He learned his numbers from this toy! He is now 18 months, and can reliably pick any number the toy asks for or I ask for. He also knows the animals and colors of them. The toy has 3 or 4 different settings that ask for different things, such as "find the number 5..." or "which animal says "Moo"?", or "find the orange cat". It will respond with the animal sound, and the voice saying" this is the orange cat". Our son gets them all every time!

We haven't used the Spanish setting, though our son loves to flip to it, and then he has NO idea what the voice is saying, but he keeps doing it anyway!

Great toy, well worth the money!

This has been a favorite toy from age 1 and is still in use from time to time at 3+. There are multiple levels of activities, each a little more challenging than the last, so it gets rediscovered every few months. I tend not to like battery-operated toys, but this one is not offensive. The voice and music are not annoying, and it has two volume levels.
