I like how this toy can grow with the child. perfect little "busy box" type toy that they can play with when they are just sitting up... but can also be interesting to older babies/toddlers who are learning about household items and opposites, for example.the front is a door with doorbell and day/night window. also some birds on the roof. one side is a bathroom with just a bubble bath with large faucet handle and rubber ducky. you can turn the faucet and press the duck for sounds. one side has a living room with lamp and functioning light switch and a little open book. if you press the book it makes a turning page sound and then reads an excerpt of a "story" about some learning idea. then the fourth side has a kitchen... just a refrigerator that opens and has a few food items inside you can slide around. very cute.
I guess if I could change some things I might make something else in the kitchen and bathroom... those areas are a little "sparse" but there isn't room for that much in such a compact toy. and the size of the toy is nice. it isn't a huge thing so it can be easily toted around by little ones with the handle. and if it drops it isn't going to be so heavy that it hurts their feet.
currently my 14 month old likes the birds in the nest and the refrigerator the best. she is able to do all/most of the things at this age but only certain parts currently hold her attention well. but as I said, it will certainly grow with her.
I'd really give this a 4 1/2 rating, not a 4, but that isn't an option.This toy is AMAZING. I honestly thought it looked pretty simple and boring, but the kids love it. I have a 2 year old who is obsessed with light switches and a 8 month old who is into everything. They both love it. The light switch on it alone was worth it. My toddler would constantly run around the house trying to flip all the lights on & off. Now he has his own light, he plays with it daily. The other features are cute too. The singing and talking isn't over the top annoying like a lot of toys. It's pretty mellow and tolerable to hear over and over. It's a nice size too. Small enough to carry around but not so small that I have to worry about the baby choking on small parts. I'd highly reccomend this for little boys in particular.My 19 month old daughter recieved this for Christmas. I couldn't get it out of the package fast enough and she sat for 30 minutes straight with this thing when she got it. She LOVES this toy. It has doors to open and close, a light switch, a sun/moon window, bath room, kitchen and living room. The more I look at it the more I find! I haven't seen anything like this in a while. I have a 5 year old so I've been in the toy market for a while. This compares to the "good ol fashioned" toys from when we were kids. LOVE IT LOVE IT. Plus it's not too loud, and it has so many different sounds and sayings that it doesn't get annoying like those repetitive toys. It is easy for her to carry around, big enough to hold interest, but also small enough so it travels well. This will be our gift for all the first birthdays!
