It's also a great value for the price. This is a great choice if you are looking for toys without batteries that make kids think instead of entertaining them with flashing colors and cool sounds. I purchased this toy 4 days ago for my 11.5 month old niece. Already she has figured out how to get the pop ups down, and she's working on learning the various mechanisms to get them to pop back up.
I think it's an excellent learning toy. I'm so glad that I found this toy for my grandson/s 1st birthday. He is still learning how to press the different buttons, but for now he loves to close them after they pop up.
He comes up with all sorts of variations to do as he uses the various switches and levers to pop up the animals, and then he names the animals' eyes, ears, and mouths. I found the yellow version of this at a thrift store for an amazing deal, so I got it even though it was hideous. It has kept him entertained for so many hours in the car. Around home it's just a normal sometimes played with toy, but it's a must-have when we go on long car trips (we're talking 2,500 miles in eight days). I'm glad I did. My 22 month old loves it and has for several months now.
Not a big loss though as it was cheap. At first he was curious how it worked and then lost all interest quickly after. We bought this for our son's 1st Birthday. He's quite the energetic guy so this really did little for him.
But when his brother went to school the next day, he had to play alone and learned to open most of the doors by himself. (My son had the singing Sesame Street one when he was a baby. It is a beautiful shade with bright colored doors and stickers.
It's just too cute. He loved it, but it drove us nuts). And the best thing about is it that I don't have to change any batteries or listen to any tinny noises.
My 6 month old has this in purple. Then he races to shut them don again. This is an all around great toy.
The first night his older brother would open the doors for him, and he would eagerly shut them down. He's still too little to turn the key, but he did learn how to pound, push and even kick the buttons to get the doors to open.
