Small World Toys Neurosmith Together Tunes Block

My son who is now 20 months has been playing with this toy since he could pull up on it to stand. He loves all the different activities on the sides of the block and knows all he has to do to get the nursery rhymes started is tap on it. If you sit with your child and play with this block, it's great fun. My son loves the side with Pop Goes the Weasel. When I make the weasel pop out, he helps me push the weasel back in so we can make him pop out again. This is one of our favorite toys to play with together.

I was hesitant to spend so much money on this toy. I really like the idea of something soft (not plastic) and musical for my 6 mo old daughter. I imagined her standing on her wobbly little legs and really enjoying the music and pictures.

However, what I imagined didn't happen. We've had this toy for almost 6 months and she still shows little interest in it, even though she loves music. My daughter is really busy and moves from toy to toy quickly. She will only play with this for a short time and never seeks it out on her own. There just aren't enough knobs, gizmos, do-dad and what-nots, for her to keep her fingers busy. Maybe when she's older and can sing along, she will start to appreciate this toy.

Cons:

1. minimal interactive parts

2. sometimes requires large movement to activate sound and sometimes activates with barely any movement.

3. fabric collects tons of dog hair and dirt

4. catchy songs (they will stay in your head, even if the words make no sense...i.e. "Pop Goes the Weasel")

5. Expensive

Pros:

1. catchy songs (Wheels on the Bus is our favorite)

Overall, I would not recommend this product.

I gave this to my 10 month old daughter for Christmas and she stands up at it but thats about it. My older children ages 4 and 7 seem to enjoy it more by singing the nursery rhymes. Its a cute idea but for babies there are alot better toys out there. FYI She loves the fisher price incrediblock.

I wouldn't compare this to fisher-price toys. It has much better sound quality. My son, now 2yo, has played with this block almost continuously since he was 3 months. I have only changed the batteries once. I have the different cartriges to play music other than the rhymes. The reason I rate it a 4 is because the other songs are not loud enough to hear even on the higher setting. I agree it is not so easy for young babies to activate the cube, but they need the parent-child interaction and all it takes is a tap. I have many Neurosmith toys and I took a risk buying them as they are out of business, but I did not regret it as all of them have worked for over a year now.
